Call ahead
A physician who will advise you about proper treatment will answer your call. For example, they can refer you to a hospital emergency department or an urgent care centre.
The Medical Helpline is able to inform you about which hospital emergency department or urgent care centre has the shortest waiting time. As part of the service, you will be informed when you can expect to be examined.
