Hospitals in Marbella

There are a growing number of hospitals in Marbella and the Costa del Sol which cater to both the Spanish community and expatriates living on the coast. Private hospitals are growing in Marbella along with the rising number of international families in the region. The main public hospital in the area is Costa del Sol Hospital. 

Marbella hospitals are considered to be very good by most residents, offering highly experienced medical practitioners, modern medical equipment, emergency units, and delivery facilities. Most are used to handling foreigners and offer translators or have multilingual staff. The private hospitals cater largely to foreigners and are thus more likely to have staff fluent in English, German or French.

Comments regarding Marbella Hospitals

Deniz's family (Marbella) grade: 7.0

Mom: I delivered a baby two months ago at the Costa del Sol hospital and I honestly have mixed feelings about the delivery process. In general, I have to say that I had a good experience and must've just been very lucky. 

When my waters broke I rushed to the hospital in the evening and was attended to quite quickly. I had an amazing nurse who helped me through quite a serious situation as my baby had her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. I was a bit taken aback as instead of an obstetrician I got an English nurse, but she proved to be very well trained and delivered my baby safely. 

Unfortunately, I know of someone who went through the exact same procedure with the same problem on the same day and the mother was't so lucky. Her child's umbilical cord became a serious complication and the baby is now handicapped. I also know of another who delivered recently at the Costa del Sol and when she arrived in the evening with major contractions she was given a huge dose of an epidural and told to go to bed. When she woke in the morning she was surrounded by young staff who apparently had no idea what to do. They struggled to deliver the baby by pushing, foreceps, and every other procedure they could think of, but since she had so much of the epidural she was delivering to no avail. Finally, the Costa del Sol hospital called an experienced doctor and he delivered a very traumatized baby. She's now told to hold answer the baby's every cry and hold it tightly to try and reverse the effects of all the trauma. 

It's really sad and I am so sorry for these patients. I just have to consider myself lucky. So I wouldn´t really recommend delivering at the Costa del Sol. You're probably better off going to USP hospital Marbella. Grade: 7.0
