Emergency service on May 23rd: Where you can get help in Göppingen!
Today, May 23rd, 2025, the statutory health insurance doctor is offering on-call service at the telephone number 116 117 Support for patients with acute but not life-threatening medical problems outside of regular consultation hours. This number allows people to reach healthcare professionals or get information about the nearest open on-call practices. However, many patients are often unsure where to go for non-acute symptoms such as a runny nose or headache. People often mistakenly call the emergency number 112 or the hospital emergency room.
A report from the emergency room of a hospital illustrates the problem: Peter M., who works there, describes the overload of patients with non-urgent complaints, which tie up valuable resources in the emergency room. He expresses the wish that such patients, instead of going to the emergency room, go to the appropriate on-call practices that are also open in the evenings. For example, there are four on-call practices available in the city.
