Medical emergency services today: This is how the district provides you!
Today, July 18, 2025, medical support outside of regular consultation hours is very important in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district. However, many people are not aware of how they can get help quickly in acute but not life-threatening situations. This is where the statutory health insurance on-call service comes into play, which can be reached at the telephone number 116 117. This number helps you find the right contact point for complaints such as a runny nose or headache.
Due to the frequent confusion surrounding emergencies, many patients prefer to call 112 or go to the emergency room in the hospital. This often leads to emergency rooms becoming overloaded. Peter M., who works in a clinic, can tell you a thing or two about it: “The emergency rooms are often full of cases that don’t belong here,” he reports.
