An amazing medical clinic that is experienced in dealing with foreigners. For some dumb reason, I caught flu during my stay in Rio and things got worse from there. I had a high temperature and was feeling really sick. Thankfully, I was with a group of friends who contacted the hotel service requesting medical assistance. They met my needs right away, and even came by the hotel to pick me up - and that's good service.
I had to spend the night at the Galdino Campos clinic, but I wasn't complaining. Anything's better than being sick while away from home, especially when the medical attention you're receiving is good. I wasn't counting on being sick, but should you find yourself in a similar situation, look this clinic up. They work with many foreigners, and therefore have English, French and Spanish speakers, which certainly makes things a lot easier.
