The 116117 line, which is to be created from next year, will be available free of charge for consultations and advice on health problems in neurigade conditions. This was stated for TASR by the head of the Department of Medical-Consultation Activities of the Operational Center of the Emergency Medical Service (OS) SR Beata Bodnárová.

She explained that The Medical Operator of the emergency line 155 is a highly qualified medical worker, who, reliably and according to the expert algorithm, evaluates the severity of the patient’s condition described by the caller, sends or does not send an outpatient ZZS, but does not provide advice on neurical conditions. “Not that he does not know or did not want, but it cannot – the emergency call line 155 and its operator should be available to a person who, along with the caller, helps fight for health and life,” added Bodnárová.

A new assistance line in the competence of the OSS of the ZZS SR will be created in Slovakia. It will serve for neurfeed conditions to relieve the distress line 155. Its launch is scheduled in January 2026. It results from an amendment to the Act on Emergency Medical Service, signed by President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini at the beginning of April.
