After using, working for and contributing to the good ld NHS for many years I was excited to learn I am entitled to private health care in Argentina with my husbands job. Nice!
So far I have had one booking to see a doctor, made over the phone by a kind Argentine, within 24 hours, the Dr was great, all good BUT when I attempted to do the same myself with my level 2 UBA spanish I failed miserably.
Someone else kindly offered to try again on my behalf with native spanish but they were told the Doctors do not take bookings it's first come first served and after trying another number they were informed that you can book to see a doctor but it will take a month before they have an available slot?!
All very confusing. Anyone else with Hospital Britanico?
Does anyone know if it's possible to book to see a General Practitioner in Buenos Aires, NHS style G.P. or was my earlier appointment a one off?
Any experiences welcome. Thanks!
