Emergency service in Suhl: Here you will find your doctors and pharmacies here today!

Today, on July 16, 2025, the citizens of the Suhl region have the opportunity to rely on the statutory service in the event of acute, but not life -threatening health complaints. This can be reached under number 116 117. A practical offer, because many people are unsure where to turn to when symptoms such as runny nose or headache occur. Instead of choosing the right number, many tend to choose the emergency number 112 or the emergency room of a hospital, as family doctor Kristina S. states.

The burden on the emergency rooms is noticeable. Peter M., who works in an emergency room, emphasizes that many patients with non -acute symptoms overload the emergency room while he wants to concentrate on life -threatening emergencies. It is therefore important that the callers use the 116 117 to be referred to the right place, and there are already four on -call service practices in the city when the regular practices are closed.

developments in emergency care

Emergency care in Germany has changed significantly in recent years, as the "government commission for modern and needs -based hospital care reports". The total number of emergencies rose sustainably by 2019, while the outpatient emergencies have continuously decreased since 2016, e.g. from 10.7 million in 2016 to 10.3 million in 2019. The effects of Corona pandemic have been clear, since the use of the emergency room has dropped and only 8.8 million outpatient emergencies were recorded in 2021.

However, Dr. Dominik von Stillfried, CEO of the Central Institute for the Statutory Health Insurance, are not increasing patient numbers, but personnel bottlenecks are the reason for the overload of the emergency rooms. The shortage of skilled workers is a serious challenge, and reform plans are strained to make personnel deployment more efficient.

Development in medical on -call duty is also remarkable. A decline in claims has been recorded since 2018, which also shows the desire of patients to use telemedical offers. However, many inquiries are often clarified by telephone, which despite the high demand does not lead to a higher number of services billed.

For the Suhl region and the surrounding cities, it remains important to use the right numbers and look for the right practices in order to relieve the emergency room. For useful information, a look at the website 116117.de .
