Important Information Regarding the Emergency Service Fee
Please note that pharmacies are entitled to charge a statutory emergency service fee of 2.50 euros during emergency hours (weekdays from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following day, as well as all day on Sundays and public holidays). If a medical prescription is presented on which the doctor has checked the “noctu” box (acute emergency), the health insurance company will cover this fee.
Medical On-call Service and Emergency Room
If you require medical assistance on the weekend that is not an acute, life-threatening emergency (e.g., high fever or severe abdominal pain), please contact the medical on-call service at the nationwide number 116 117.
The on-call service center for Jena is located directly at the Universitätsklinikum Jena in the Lobeda district (Am Klinikum 1, 07747 Jena). It is the central point of contact for patients on weekends and public holidays. The Lobeda-Ost district is easily accessible via the A4 motorway and Jena’s local public transport lines.
In life-threatening situations – such as suspected heart attack, stroke, or serious accidents – please dial the emergency services immediately at the emergency number 112.
