About this service

The out-of-hours medical service of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Hamburg (KV Hamburg). Call 116117 day or night when your own practice is closed and you need a doctor but it is not life-threatening: you get telephone advice, a home visit or a referral to one of the emergency practices (Notfallpraxen), for example at Stresemannstraße 54 in Altona, at the UKE (Martinistraße 52) or at the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus (Lesserstraße 180). In life-threatening emergencies always call 112.
