Emergency information

This website cannot assess an emergency and does not provide emergency care.

Seek urgent medical care or contact your local emergency service for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, including inability to pass urine, heavy bleeding, severe pain, high fever with urinary symptoms, fainting, or any situation that feels life-threatening.

If it may be an emergency

• Contact your local emergency service or go to an emergency department.
• If you are unsure how urgent a situation is, contact a healthcare professional promptly.
• Do not wait for information from a website before seeking urgent help.

Why we do not list one emergency number

Emergency numbers differ by country, and this is an international information site. Use the emergency number for your location. When we introduce verified country-specific information, we will show locally appropriate guidance.
