Emergency medical services when the medical center is closed

Off hour medical services

Medical emergencies don’t always happen during convenient hours. Sometimes your child wakes up in the middle of the night with pain or a high fever. Sometimes accidents happen on Shabbat or holidays. And sometimes you you forget a medication dose or urgently need to consult a nurse outside of regular working hours.

That’s exactly why we’ve prepared the following information for you.

24/7 Medical Consultation Call Center

To contact the Medical Consultation Center, please call our Customer Service Center at 1-700-507-507 or *507, and select the "Medical Consultation Center" option from the menu.

The center provides guidance on what to do in case of fever, how to respond to injuries, when to seek emergency care, and more. If you're referred to the emergency room or an urgent care center, the referral will be sent directly and will be waiting for you upon arrival.
