Whether you're dealing with flu-like infections, gastrointestinal complaints or migraines - support is just a phone call away. This was done by hl-live.de confirmed. From Christmas Eve and the two Christmas holidays to New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, doctors are available to offer urgently needed help to those affected.

Citizens can also come directly to the contact practices, whose locations and opening times can be found on the website 116117.de.

Emergencies that occur during regular office hours can also be resolved in practices that offer short-term appointments. However, according to general information, it is possible that there will be waiting times due to the practice's busyness. However, a sudden heart attack or shortness of breath is treated immediately, so patients can always be sure that their health is the priority. In cases where an illness cannot wait until the next day, the medical on-call service is the right point of contact.
