What is healthcare in Luxembourg like?

Facilities and Health Information

Medical facilities are widely available. Dial 112 for a medical emergency or the fire department, and 113 for the police. Hospitals in Luxembourg operate on a 24-hour rotation system. We do not advise self-referral to any hospital, with an exception: the “Centre Hospitalier” is always on-call for emergency cases involving children under the age of 14. In Luxembourg City, three major hospitals offer comprehensive general medical and surgical treatment. Additionally, there are two pediatric clinics and two obstetric clinics in Luxembourg City. There are also hospitals in the south of the country (Esch-sur-Alzette) and in the north (Wiltz). For more specialized care, including major burns, transfer to a regional burn center in Belgium or France is necessary. Three medical services (maisons médicales) provide general medical treatment (not suitable for emergency cases) after hours, on weekends, and holidays, when a treating physician is not available. Please see information on all medical facilities in Luxembourg at the following website.

Most drugstores are located in Luxembourg City but can also be found throughout the country in all major communes. Drugstores operate on a 24-hour rotation system for after-hours services, including emergency prescriptions. The on-call pharmacy is listed daily in the local newspaper or can be ascertained by calling 112. A doctor's prescription is sometimes necessary for drugs that are sold over the counter in the United States.

Disability Access In Luxembourg

Accessibility

Persons with disabilities can take advantage of a special public transportation system (Novabus) that can be requested for a small fee to transport the customer anywhere within Luxembourg. The buses operated by Luxembourg City are all accessible to persons with physical disabilities. It is also possible to book a special ‘Rollibus’ (minivan).

Luxembourg train station provides assistance to travelers with disabilities. This service can be requested from any platform at the station or by e-mail in advance. Luxembourg CFL (local railway system) has been improving accommodations for persons with disabilities by installing ramps, broader doors, etc.

Most public buildings, sports and cultural centers, theaters, and museums have good accessibility for disabled persons.
