In an emergency call 124 for an ambulance or 112, the single European number; both calls are free and the 112 operators speak several languages. For anything less urgent the first stop is the health centre (dom zdravlja) of the municipality; every municipality has one. The Clinical Centre of Montenegro (KCCG) at Ljubljanska bb in Podgorica is the national referral hospital, with its Urgent Centre on +382 20 412 267. Outside the capital the public hospitals are the clinical-hospital centres in Kotor and Berane and the general hospitals in Bar, Cetinje, Nikšić, Bijelo Polje and Pljevlja; Budva, Tivat, Ulcinj and Herceg Novi have health centres with emergency units but no general hospital. The town pages below give the address and phone of every hospital, health centre, emergency unit and contracted private clinic; pharmacies are on their own page.

Health centres: the first stop

The public network has 18 health centres (dom zdravlja), one per municipality, and for anything short of an emergency this is where to go. The Podgorica health centre at Bracana Bracanovića 1 and its 11 facilities across the city share one call centre, 19816. On the coast: Budva at Popa Jola Zeca bb is open Monday to Friday 07:00-21:00 (+382 33 427 200); Tivat at Istarska bb is open daily 07:00-21:00 (+382 68 672 898), and in the tourist season the Tivat centre and its clinic in Radovići on the Luštica peninsula (Monday to Saturday 07:00-21:00) run a tourist clinic for visitors; Bar at Jovana Tomaševića 42 (+382 30 311 001) sees patients in two shifts, 07:00-14:00 and 14:00-21:00. Herceg Novi (Nikole Ljubibratića 1, +382 31 343 111) and Ulcinj (Majke Tereze bb, +382 30 412 433) publish phones but no weekly hours.

Private clinics

Private hospitals and clinics are listed where they hold a contract with the Health Insurance Fund (Fond za zdravstveno osiguranje) for IVF, MRI, ophthalmology or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or where they publish their own address and hours. In Podgorica the Codra hospital at Radosava Burića bb (+382 69 300 300) holds Fund contracts for IVF and hyperbaric therapy and Ars Medica at Gavra Vukovića bb (+382 20 227 224) for IVF; on the coast A3 Medical in Sutomore, at Haj-Nehaj bb (+382 69 188 188), is open daily 07:00-22:00. Whether treatment is free for you depends on your country's agreement with Montenegro and on your insurance; the emergency and healthcare page explains the EHIC, the GHIC and travel insurance. Dental practices, private laboratories without a public register and practices named after a single doctor are not in the directory; a map point placed on the street rather than the building is marked as approximate.
