Rules for using Night and Holiday Health Care

Night and holiday health care are primary health care services provided from Monday to Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. the following day, and on Saturdays, Sundays and other public holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. the following day.

The assistance is provided at night care points and is not related to the primary health care physician with whom we are registered. Insured persons may use the assistance of any night care point in the event of a deterioration in their health. Information on where night and holiday medical and nursing care is provided in a given region can be obtained by the patient from their primary health care physician, in the appropriate provincial branch of the National Health Fund or its delegation.

Night and holiday medical care services are free (for insured persons) and provided without a referral.

The doctor on duty at the clinic provides advice:

  • in an outpatient setting,
  • at the patient's home (in medically justified cases),
  • by phone.

On public holidays, after 6:00 p.m., patients are also entitled to nursing procedures as part of the advice provided by the doctor on duty at the primary care facility, as well as procedures resulting from the continuity of treatment. These procedures can be performed by a nurse in the treatment room or at the patient's home.

Emergency medical services – emergency number – 999 or 112 – whenever you feel that your life or someone else’s life is in danger, you should definitely call the emergency medical services number.

An ambulance equipped with specialist equipment has a professional rescue team that will quickly arrive at the specified address. The dispatcher who receives the call can assess whether the patient's health condition requires sending an ambulance or referral to overnight mobile or outpatient care.
