Hospitals
Hospitals Worldwide provides a comprehensive list of the hospitals available in Switzerland, with links to further information and contact details.
Emergencies and pharmacies
- Tel: 144 for 24 hour information on doctors, pharmacies, dentists and vets on call
Note: this is also the telephone number for the central ambulance (ambulance/sanität-notruf) service in Switzerland.
Pharmacies usually operate regular working hours in Switzerland (09:00-18:00, closed on Sundays), however, there are 24 hour pharmacies available throughout the different cantons. It is recommended to call prior to visiting a pharmacy, as many operate on a 24 hour rota system and may therefore be closed at an unexpected time.
