What this service does for you
The acute outpatient clinic in the middle of downtown Basel accepts people in a mental health crisis even without an appointment – you can simply go there during opening hours. For affected persons and relatives after a stroke, it is the right place to go if the burden suddenly becomes too great and an appointment in four weeks would be too late. After an initial assessment, a decision is made together on what to do next: outpatient treatment, day clinic or a hospital stay. Waiting times of two hours or more can occur; calling in advance is worthwhile.
