Emergency

The operations of the A&E department are maintained around the clock by:

• Specialist emergency physicians (internist, anaesthesiologist, surgeon)
• general  practitioners with additional training in emergency care (Diploma in Acute Medicine)
• psychiatrists
• a nursing care team, complemented by a social worker and a physiotherapist
  Some advice for emergency cases:

First of all contact your attending physician: he will help you to understand how serious your situation is and will advise you of the most appropriate approach.
If you go to the A&E department, remember to take the following documents with you:

• I-D card
• blood group card
• x-rays and recent blood test results
• the list of your current medication
• previous hospitalisation reports, if you have them
