Hospital San Rafael is one of the established private hospital names in A Coruna and sits in the city’s main hospital corridor on the Xubias side, rather than in the tighter central streets. That gives it a slightly different feel from the more city-centre-based entries in the directory: it works well for patients who want a fuller hospital setting for urgent care, admissions, scans and specialist treatment, while still staying within the urban area and close to the main road approaches.

Getting there:
By bus: The hospital’s own access page lists local bus lines 12, 12A, 17, 20 and 22 for this hospital area, which gives it good links from several parts of A Coruna.
By car: The official directions say that from within A Coruna you can approach via Avenida del Ejercito or Avenida de Oza. If you are arriving from outside the city by the AP-9 or N-VI, the usual approach is via Puente del Pasaje and Paseo de las Jubias.
By taxi: The city’s own hospital transport information confirms a taxi stop for the hospital area, which is useful for direct drop-offs, family visits and follow-up appointments.
Local access: Because the hospital is in the wider CHUAC and Xubias medical zone rather than deep inside the old city, it is generally easier to reach for repeat visits, scans and short hospital trips than a more congested central location.
