In Germany, patients usually go to hospital only in emergency cases, for surgeries or special examinations and for urgent weekend treatment. If you need to see a doctor, please contact a general practitioner first. You have to call and arrange an appointment. Outside consultation hours, you can contact the emergency medical services (116 117). For questions on medication in case of lighter health problems, pharmacies are a helpful address.
