Emergency service on Christmas Day: Doctors and pharmacies are there for you!

On December 25, 2025, important information will be available for patients in the Ostalbkreis. The statutory health insurance on-call service can be reached on 116 117. He is particularly responsible for acute, but not life-threatening, complaints outside of regular consultation hours. Unfortunately, many patients often mistakenly call the emergency number 112 or the emergency room in the hospital instead of using 116 117, which leads to overload in the emergency rooms. This reports 116117.de as well as the Federal Ministry of Health.

Kristina S., a family doctor, explains that many people are often unsure whether their symptoms require a visit to the doctor. The announcement of the number 116 117 is intended to ensure that patients receive the correct information. This initiative helps to reduce the burden on emergency departments and direct patients to the most appropriate points of contact.
