Emergency call 144: Choose first aid in an emergency - this is how you help yourself!

EFERDING. In the city of Eferding there is important information for all citizens: In the event of a medical emergency, you should never hesitate and call the emergency number 144 directly. The district office of the Red Cross Eferding appeals to the public to use these guidelines to ensure rapid and competent help.

District rescue commander Philipp Wiatschka underlines the crucial importance of this approach. It often happens that people in an emergency try to go to the next Red Cross local office. However, Wiatschka warns: "The choice of the emergency number is of great importance because it ensures that professional rescue workers are immediately alerted and act quickly. Every second counts in critical situations."

why the emergency call is so important

A quick alarm via the emergency number not only has the advantage that rescue workers are immediately on hand, but also ensures that the appropriate medical equipment and qualified staff are sent directly to the emergency location. "Rescue workers are trained to react quickly in stressful and often life -threatening situations and to do the best possible care," says Wiatschka.

Direct communication via the emergency call enables structured and effective help. "The independent driving to the rescue station can cost precious minutes that can be decisive in an emergency," said the district rescue commander. In many cases, the rescue vehicles would already be in use, which can make personal discussion in a reception ineffective, since this approach is lost valuable time.

It is also important to note that there is no practical doctor in the Rotkreuz locations. For medical emergencies outside of regular office hours, the general practitioner service Hand is available under number 141. Health advice can be contacted around the clock on the phone number 1450. This hotline is also responsible for clarifying where a corresponding care for other symptoms can be made possible.

The number 14844 is the right choice for ambulances. "The direct contact via the correct emergency numbers is crucial in order to not only receive quick help, but also to ensure that the treatment is done exactly where it is most urgently needed," emphasizes Wiatschka.

All of these measures and information pursue a common goal: a faster and more efficient reaction in an emergency in order to save lives and to guarantee adequate care. When it comes to your health, do not hesitate to choose the suitable numbers that offer you the help you need.
