HOSPITALS IN AUSTRIA

There follows a list of English-speaking doctors practicing in Austria who are known to the Embassy. The listing is not intended as all-inclusive or as an exclusive list of recommended medical practitioners. The list is intended solely to provide interested American citizens with a convenient form of information and/or a quick reference in emergent situations.

The order of listing has no significance.

In case of emergency outside the major cities, the ambulance can be reached in many towns under telephone #144. Where this is not possible, the telephone directory should be consulted under the entry Rettung. This entry is always listed right after the name of the respective town. If doctor's services are needed, please look in the directory under Ärzte. Larger towns have a hospital listed under Krankenhaus.

Although the doctors and medical groups listed below have been selected with care, the Embassy cannot assume responsibility for their professional ability and integrity and has no control over the professional fees they charge. Private medical practitioners in Austria establish their own fees. Furthermore, they will not settle fee claims directly with U.S. insurance companies. Therefore, the American citizen patient will be expected to pay his bill at the time of treatment/consultation. The patient may thereafter present his paid bill to his U.S. insurance carrier, if any, for reimbursement. Medicare is not valid for medical expenses in Austria.

MISCELLANEOUS

HEALTH CONDITIONS

Public Health Conditions in Austria are excellent. The level of community sanitation in Vienna and other cities in Austria meets or exceeds that of most large American cities. Disease incidence and type are similar to that seen in the major cities of Western Europe and the United States. At the present time, air pollution is not a major health problem in Vienna.

Water in Austria is pure and safe to drink.

All milk sold in Austria is pasteurized.

FLOURIDE TREATMENT

The water in Vienna has inadequate levels of natural fluoride and none is added. Unless there are medical contraindications, all children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years should receive a daily fluoride supplement.

TICK BORNE ENCEPHALITIS (ETB)

In certain parts of Austria and Central Europe, there is a danger of contracting encephalitis from viruses carried by several common tick species. While not all ticks carry the TBE virus, those that do are frequently found in wooded, low lying areas, such as the Wiener Wald. An excellent vaccine against TBE has been developed in Austria and is highly effective. It is strongly recommended for all persons who live in and around Vienna and expect to enjoy outdoor activities, such as walking and jogging, in infested areas.
