Acute help for your sick child on weekends and public holidays.

„Hilfe – Krankes Kind“ is a team of experienced pediatricians from various private practices who have come together to provide assistance for your child in case of acute illness on weekends and public holidays.


To achieve this, each private practice doctor in the team takes turns offering appointments outside regular office hours in their own practice rooms. This allows us to save you long waiting times in hospital emergency departments and provide your child with acute medical care in a calm environment.


In our duty schedule below, you can find out which doctor is available on a given day. You can then contact the on-duty doctor by phone or book an appointment directly via the provided booking link.
