Oxygen abroad

[jjnanna]

Hi all, I am new on here and wondered if any of you have experience with getting oxygen in your hotel rooms in Spain. We usually go in September and now I need oxygen 20 hours daily I obviously need a machine and portable but don't know where to start looking...Thanks in advance x

This is a question that has come up a few times on here. The best place for information is probably your own provider, as they sometimes can supply abroad, depending on supplier and country. Otherwise, you can see previous discussions here:

Though I am not sure whether or not the recent Brexit vote changes things.

Hi

Worth contacting.

Oxygen

If you need to receive oxygen therapy during a temporary visit to Spain, you must request it in advance, in writing, from the Spanish authorities. You should send this request at least one month before you are due to travel.

Oxygen therapy needs to be arranged by customers directly with the Spanish authorities. The Healthcare Teams at the British consulates provide a list of contacts and a template letter in Spanish on the Healthcare in Spain website to help you make these arrangements.

Once you have sent the oxygen request directly to the Spanish authorities, it is your responsibility to then follow up with the relevant oxygen provider to confirm your request has been processed.
