Emergency care over the holidays: Where can you get help in Sigmaringen?

During the upcoming Christmas and New Year period, the people of Sigmaringen are ready to act quickly in emergencies. The central emergency room at the SRH Klinikum Sigmaringen remains open around the clock on all public holidays, which is an important contact point for medical emergencies. However, for non-life-threatening problems, patients can access the emergency practices of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV), which are also located in the clinic on the first floor the Swabian newspaper reported.

The opening hours of the emergency practices vary on public holidays: in Albstadt, Tuttlingen and Biberach they are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., in Bad Saulgau and Überlingen they are only open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sigmaringen, on the other hand, is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., while the practice in Reutlingen is available for patients until 10 p.m. Children’s emergencies can also receive special care there. The same opening hours apply on weekends. For urgent medical concerns outside these times, it is recommended to contact the medical on-call service on 116117, such as the Sigmaringen clinics note.

Act quickly in life-threatening emergencies!

In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, it is important to call 112 immediately. An ambulance or rescue helicopter will be dispatched immediately, possibly also an emergency doctor, depending on the severity of the situation. For non-life-threatening concerns, the statutory health insurance on-call service is available around the clock to provide support as quickly as possible. Callers are guided by emergency control center staff through important questions to effectively assess the situation and organize the help they need.
