Quick answer

Life-threatening or severe situations require local emergency services. Health4Travel supports non-emergency outpatient care and does not replace emergency response.

This may be an emergency

If you or someone you are with is in a life-threatening situation, call your local emergency number now. In the EU dial 112. Language support and calling conditions vary by country and network. Health4Travel is not an emergency service.

Signs that emergency services may be needed

Contact local emergency services if there is any risk of serious harm. Examples include:

  • chest pain or difficulty breathing
  • severe allergic reaction
  • severe bleeding or serious accident
  • stroke symptoms or loss of consciousness
  • severe head injury
  • any situation that feels immediately dangerous

In many countries the emergency number is 112. Other countries use different numbers.

What non-emergency outpatient care means

Outpatient care covers visits that do not require an overnight hospital stay — for example a doctor consultation, dental visit, telehealth appointment or prescription follow-up. It is not a substitute for emergency care.
