Emergency services in the Elbe-Elster district: Everything you need for your health!
In these times, when every day can bring a new adventure, it is essential to be well informed about the emergency medical services in our area. Between July 9th and 16th, the medical on-call service will be active for anyone who needs quick help with acute symptoms. Would you like to know where you can find support in Cologne? The uniform telephone number for the medical on-call service is 116117. It is better to write this number down immediately, as it will help you quickly get the right treatment in an emergency. According to wochenkurier.info, this number is available around the clock and relieves the burden on emergency rooms from non-acute cases.
We often hear from patients who are unsure whether their problems should be taken to the emergency room or in the hands of an on-call doctor. Kristina S., a family doctor, notes that many people don't know where to turn if they have urgent but not life-threatening problems. They often call the emergency number 112 or the emergency room, but this is not always necessary. “I can only recommend calling 116117,” she says. This number, she explains, connects patients to the right medical facilities available to them when their primary care physicians are not available, as mentioned on 116117.de.
