SDQ to CEDIMAT or Plaza de la Salud: Plan the Right Drop-Off

CEDIMAT lists its main address at C/ Pepillo Salcedo, corner of Arturo Logroño, Ensanche La Fe. Hospital General de la Plaza de la Salud (HGPS) lists Av. Ortega y Gasset, Ensanche La Fe. Ask the appointment team for the institution, building, patient entrance and a map pin. A neighborhood name alone is insufficient.

Do not assume every CEDIMAT appointment uses the main site. Its executive-consultation page lists Av. Abraham Lincoln #849, edificio corporativo Yunen, third floor. Treat this as an example of why the appointment address matters, not an instruction to use that office. Reconfirm the actual address and entrance with your appointment team.

Ask the clinic when you must register, rather than using only the consultation time. Your flight's landing time is not the time the car leaves SDQ: allow for immigration, baggage, customs, meeting the driver and the road journey. If a same-day plan is tight, discuss a different appointment or arrival day with the clinic; transport cannot guarantee punctuality.

Give the passenger and companion count, luggage and any mobility equipment dimensions. Explain whether the passenger can enter an ordinary vehicle seat and who will assist. A VIP label does not confirm a ramp, lift or clinical support. This article concerns ordinary private ground transport; arrange any medical transport requirements directly with the care team and a suitable provider.

State whether the first destination is the clinic or your accommodation. Airport–hotel–clinic is a different itinerary from one airport drop-off. Confirm luggage arrangements with the hotel or clinic; neither storage nor bags remaining in a vehicle should be assumed. Ask dispatch to confirm the applicable VIP fare for each actual address and any extra stops.

An appointment's start time does not establish its finish time. Choose an agreed waiting service or a separate pickup with a clear contact and notice arrangement; do not assume immediate on-demand availability. If you are flying home afterward, work backwards from the airline's required airport-arrival time and discuss the schedule with the appointment team before committing.

Dispatch needs your flight, local arrival date, passenger name, reachable contact, destination entrance and practical access needs. Keep diagnoses, test results, passport copies and insurance records out of the transport message unless a specific justified requirement is explained. Send appointment and clinical documents directly to the healthcare provider through its own channels.

Example: ‘We arrive at SDQ on [local date], flight [number], with [passengers and bags]. Our appointment is at [institution, full address, building and entrance]; registration is at [time]. We need [access arrangement] and [drop-off only / agreed waiting / separate return]. Please assess the timing and confirm availability, VIP price and change conditions in writing.’ SDQ VIP confirms transport arrangements, not medical appointments or hospital affiliation.
