Emergency services in the Birkenfeld district: How to find help today!
Today, October 12, 2025, citizens in the Birkenfeld district have an important offer of help available. The statutory health insurance on-call service can be reached for all acute medical problems outside of regular office hours at the number: 116 117. This number is particularly valuable for people who do not know where to turn for non-life-threatening but still urgent complaints such as a runny nose or headache.
As many people know, people often call the emergency number 112 or go straight to the emergency room of a hospital - a circumstance that leads to overload, as Peter M., doctor in an emergency room, confirms. He reports that many of the patients there do not have real emergencies, which prevents him and his colleagues from fully caring for the truly critical cases. This is a clear sign of how important the on-call service is in order to offer patients adequate support.
