Emergency care services and first aid

Those needing urgent care must, in the first instance, go to the health centre of their housing district.
For example sudden respiratory inflammations, back pain, sprains and children’s ear infections are treated at health centres.

If a patient urgently needs to consult a doctor, he or she books the appointment from the Telephone Health Service, tel. 10023 or 03 10023 when calling from a mobile phone, daily 7 - 22.
