Jena (16.02.2026) – Sudden toothache, high fever, or an urgent prescription in the evening: illnesses do not adhere to opening hours. Even today, Monday, February 16, 2026, medical care in Jena is secured outside regular office hours. We summarize the most important contact points for you.
The Medical On-Call Service: The Number 116 117
When the family doctor’s office is already closed, the statutory health insurance on-call service is the first point of contact for illnesses that would normally be treated by a resident physician. You can reach medical help via the nationwide telephone number 116 117. This applies in particular to non-life-threatening complaints such as severe cold symptoms, gastrointestinal infections, or migraines.
In Jena, the Notfallsprechstunde der Kassenärztlichen Vereinigung is often an important point of contact. Please note that for life-threatening situations (suspected heart attack, serious accidents, shortness of breath), 112 must always be dialed immediately.
Pharmacy Emergency Service in Jena
Anyone in urgent need of medication today can rely on the pharmacy emergency service. The pharmacies on duty change daily at 8:00 AM and are then available for 24 hours. Since the emergency schedule rotates, there is usually one pharmacy in the city center and one in the larger districts such as Lobeda or Winzerla/Burgau that is easily accessible.
Editorial note: The exact assignment of emergency pharmacies changes daily. You can find the pharmacy currently open near you via the notice board at any pharmacy or via the official search on aponet.de. If in doubt, use the emergency service announcement via the short code 22 8 33 (mobile).
Central Emergency Department in Lobeda
For serious medical emergencies, the Zentrale Notaufnahme (ZNA) of the Universitätsklinikum Jena in Lobeda is available around the clock. The hospital is the contact point for the entire region of Ostthüringen for serious injuries and acute, serious illnesses. The ZNA is located at the Standort Erlanger Allee.
Dental Emergency Service
Help is also available for acute toothaches. Outside of office hours and on weekends, the Kassenzahnärztliche Vereinigung Thüringen organizes an emergency service. You can usually find out which dentist in Jena is on call today via the central switchboard or the regional press.
Stay calm and have your health insurance card ready in case of an emergency. The medical infrastructure in the Saalestadt is set up so that you will receive help quickly today as well.
