Emergency services in the Kusel district: Where you can find quick help today!

The emergency room at the Westpfalz-Klinikum, which can be reached at +49 6381 93-0, is open for acute cases. If you are unsure whether your condition constitutes an emergency, you can call 116 117 to get advice from the medical on-call service. It is crucial to find the right contact point to relieve the burden on emergency rooms, as Peter M. from the emergency room also confirms.

Medical on-call service

In addition, the medical on-call service, which can be reached on 116 117, has an essential role to play, especially for non-life-threatening but urgent complaints such as a runny nose or headache. Kristina S., a family doctor, knows that many patients mistakenly use the emergency number 112 or the emergency rooms. Their appeal to the public is clear: “Use 116 117 to be directed to the right place!”

There are various doctors on call in the Kusel district on this day. Particularly noteworthy is the ophthalmological on-call service in Kaiserslautern on Hellmut-Hartert-Str. 1, which is open from midnight to 7:00 a.m. This means that even those with acute eye problems can get help quickly.

Important information for emergencies

In rural areas, many pharmacies are on call more frequently. It's best to get organized early. Emergency lighting is regulated by law and does not always run smoothly, so it makes sense to find out more in advance. The emergency pharmacies are also available on public holidays, and the emergency number 112 remains essential for life-threatening emergencies.

Finally, it is important to note the emergency service fee of 2.50 euros, which is due in certain situations. If you have a prescription marked “noctu”, the health insurance company will cover these fees.
