Family Physician Service

In Clínica Alemana, we know that moving to a new country, away from your loved ones, and adapting to a new healthcare system can be challenging. This is why, our SaludExpats Unit offers you Family Physician Service, an exclusive program to address your health needs.

This program is inspired in the family doctor model, with a preventive approach, long term follow- up to guide and solve frequent health problems, following examples like the Family Physician o Primary Care Physician in United States and General Practitioner (GP) in United Kingdom, and equivalents in other European countries.

Directed to foreigners living in Chile over 18 years old, a multidisciplinary bilingual team is in charge, led by a Family Physician, with nurses and assistants, which will help you solve your health concerns in a timely manner.

The program consists in an initial Integral medical evaluation and medical consultations depending on your needs.

In the case of consultations in the areas of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, Traumatology and Emergencies it is advisable to consult a specialist directly.
