E-prescription switch in the Balearic Islands: weekend outage — who is prepared?

Answer

Can tourists in Mallorca get medicine if they do not have a Spanish health card app?

Tourists may face more difficulty because they often do not have the local app or know the usual procedure. In urgent cases, paper prescriptions remain the emergency option, but travellers should not wait until the last minute if they need medication. It is sensible to carry important medicines and any prescription documents when travelling.
