About this service

Each of Berlin's 12 districts has a public health office. For residents they run the child and youth health service, child and adolescent psychiatric service and dental service, the social-psychiatric service for adults, advice for people with disabilities, and infection protection, including some vaccinations. Berlin-wide centres for sexual health and family planning and for tuberculosis are also part of the system. Find your district's office and its services via the Senate overview; for routine care you still go to a doctor.
