When to seek help?

Emergency, or immediate, consultation of a gynecologist is required in the following cases:

• patients with suspected bleeding and amniotic fluid rupture during pregnancy
• febrile (body temperature 38 °C and above) patients with lower abdominal pain
• patients with acute severe lower abdominal pain
• patients with postoperative problems (less than 1 month has passed since the operation)
• survivors of sexual violence

At the reception, detailed examinations are not performed. Instead, the patient’s condition and the nature of the possible illness are assessed, and the urgency of care is determined accordingly.

In most cases, the issue can be managed on an outpatient basis.

Who do we provide assistance to?

Emergency dental care is a paid service. For insured persons under 19 years of age, dental care is covered by the Health Insurance Fund.

For adult patients, the Health Insurance Fund covers treatment only in cases of true dental emergencies, as determined by the dentist.

IMPORTANT

Not all urgent dental issues are considered part of emergency dental care.

Free emergency care is provided only if delaying or not providing treatment is life-threatening or potentially life-threatening.

If the condition does not fall under emergency dental care, the treatment is paid.

Whether a condition qualifies as an emergency is decided by the dentist.

For more information, visit the Health Insurance Fund website.
