Updated 28 June 2026. Practical health guide for booking an appointment, checking the SIP card and confirming the assigned health centre through official Sanitat GVA channels. València Informada is not an official website.

The SIP card identifies each person within the Valencian health system and supports appointments, primary care and contact information management. This guide focuses on the practical use of official health channels: the Sanitat website, Patient Portal, GVA Salut app and assigned health centre.

What you can do with the SIP card

  • Book or review appointments with a GP, nurse, paediatrician or administrative service.
  • Check the assigned health centre according to your health record and address.
  • Update or verify contact details when an official Sanitat channel allows it.
  • Identify yourself during in-person or telephone health procedures when requested.

How to book a health appointment

  1. Open the official Sanitat GVA channel or GVA Salut app.
  2. Have your SIP number, date of birth and identification documents ready.
  3. Choose the type of care: GP, nursing, paediatrics or administrative procedure.
  4. Check the date, time, centre and professional before confirming.
  5. Save the receipt, screenshot or appointment reminder if available.

Common mistakes

  • Using telephone numbers or forms published on unofficial websites.
  • Confusing an old news report with current Sanitat instructions.
  • Failing to check whether the assigned centre changes after moving or updating details.
  • Attending without identification or a health card when requested by the centre.

When to call or attend the centre

If the app or website cannot resolve the request, contact your health centre through the channels in its official record. For emergencies or serious situations, do not rely on an information guide: follow the competent health and emergency channels.
