What this service does for you
144 is the national emergency number for the rescue service in Switzerland. You must call it immediately if you suspect an acute stroke, because fast action is decisive for the chances of recovery. Typical warning signs are a drooping corner of the mouth, paralysis of an arm, or sudden speech problems (FAST test). Relatives should state the exact time when the symptoms started, as this determines the treatment options in the hospital. The number works throughout Switzerland, regardless of the language region or canton.
