Medical Care
In case of illness or injury, you can either contact a local doctor or the hospital.
A listing of local doctors and their office hours can be found in the printed ECTS Guide which you got at the IRO. At night and on weekends there is always a doctor on duty, too; please see the locals papers for information about which doctor is available and how to contact him/her. Via the website of Kufstein City you can also search for the doctor who is on duty.
The hospital staff can also assist you with medical advice or services. The hospital is located in the southern outskirts of Kufstein and can be easily reached by public transportation or taxi (for emergency transportation, call the ambulance at 144). Their address and phone number is:
