There are 2 private hospitals in Lagos; “Luzdoc” and their hospital is in Praia de Luz and “São Gonçalo Hospital” which is on the edge of Lagos itself, just behind Intermarché.
There are also some self employed GPs in the town – but they can be hard to find as they do not advertise their services.
Costs are generally about €55 to see a GP; about €11 per X-Ray; and about €65 for seeing a consultant – but be aware that specialists and consultants may only visit Lagos on a weekly basis.

If you ever need medical consultation you can visit one of the doctors at the Hospital São Gonçalo de Lagos (https://www.hsglagos.pt). The hospital has a 24-hour medical on-call service for acute illnesses and a range of good specialists of all medical fields.
You will find the hospital in the Avenida Dom Sebastião, near to the big Intermarché (Map: https://www.hsglagos.pt/#!how-to-get-here/cxvz). To go there you can take the A Onda Bus, Line 4, which stops directly in the front of the hospital or you can go by foot, which will take you about 20 minutes walking, depending on how fit you are. There is also enough parking space if you go there by car.
For any acute situations you can always go to the medical on-duty service (emergency) which offers a 24-hours service by different GPs. Most of them speak English very well and some even French and German. An on-dutyconsultation will cost you 55 € (2015) plus any additional expenses for special treatments, like x-rays or laboratory.
If you do not have an acute sickness it is better to book an appointment with the GPs in advance which will reduce your waiting time and costs 45 €. The following GPs can be highly recommended for general purposes:
