What are emergency services like in Vienna?

"Emergency services in Vienna, are efficient and well-organized, providing assistance in various emergency situations, including medical emergencies, fires, and accidents. To call for an ambulance in Vienna, you would need to dial the emergency number for medical assistance, which is 144. Once connected, you should provide your location, the nature of the emergency, and any other relevant information to help the dispatcher send the appropriate help. The emergency operators typically speak German and English, ensuring effective communication during the call," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Vienna, Austria.

"We live 2 tram stops away from Wilhelminenspital der Stadt Wien (socialized health care). The emergency services there are excellent. I spent 6 months in the hospital and my time there, and care, has been excellent compared to the US hospitals, where it is about how are you going to pay for your care. In Vienna, it is focused on how can we help you get better," commented one expat who made the move to Vienna, Austria.
