This is what Dr. Kristina S., family doctor, in a nutshell. She has noticed that many people often don't know where to go if they have urgent problems. “Everyone knows the number 112, but 116 117 is the one we should need,” she notes. She makes it clear that in true emergencies, hospital should be the route, while on-call care can be helpful when symptoms appear less acute.
Markus F., a patient, recently dialed 116117 himself and found the information there extremely helpful. “It was easy to find the right place to go,” he says. He would like to recommend such positive experiences to others in the future.
The doctors' appeal couldn't be clearer: a lot of relief for emergency rooms in hospitals could be achieved if more people use the on-call number 116 117 and find out about the current opening hours of the practices. In addition, the various designated pharmacies make access to the medication easy and convenient for everyone who needs it.
