Medical Care
In case of illness, a general practitioner is your first port of call. It is best to register with a GP before you become ill. Following an examination, the GP will refer you to the relevant specialist. You should only go to the hospital in an emergency, during the night or weekend, or if the GP is unavailable. Always take your health insurance card with you when visiting the doctor. Make sure the doctor is one who treats patients with statutory health insurance.
Drugs prescribed by the doctor are available from a pharmacy. The out-of-pocket payment for prescribed drugs is generally 5 to 10 euros.
