Medical

Personnel and their dependants have access to a UK Medical Centre (with access to American facilities) for primary care treatment.  Secondary care treatment is through Host Nation facilities and the American Regional Medical Centre (a fully functioning hospital). Tertiary support is on a case-by-case basis and provided by Host Nation, UK or American facilities.

Dental

Ramstein is supported by a visiting team from Brunssum on a monthly basis. This includes hygienist support and is available to dependents as well.

British Medical Centre (BMC)

The BMC is co-located with the British Dental Centre (BDC) in Building 2123 near to the American Health Clinic.

The Medical staff are required to carry out mandatory trade training which is held on a Wednesday afternoon.  The BMC is therefore closed for all routine appointments and enquires.  Only Emergency Patients will be seen. Out of normal working hours and Bank holidays when the BMC is closed, the JHQ Advice line is used for Medical advice.

Out Of Hours Medical Cover at BMC Ramstein

In the event of medical problems occurring when the BMC is closed the following action should be taken:

Contact the British Forces Germany Health Service (BFGHS) Advice Line at JHQ Rheindahlen. You will speak to a qualified and experienced primary care nurse.  They will advise you about self-help measures you could take, whether it is appropriate to wait until the next working day to see your regular doctor, or whether you should go to Accident & Emergency (A&E). If necessary they can arrange for an English-speaking, UK-qualified General Practitioner to call you back.

In the event of pregnancy-related problems you should contact the JHQ advice line and ask to speak to the BFG duty midwife.

Patients that require to be seen at an A&E department or have been advised to attend hospital for urgent medical treatment are to use St. Johannis Hospital in Landstuhl.

Patients are reminded that whilst attending the German healthcare facility, it is essential that you have your Ramstein ID card in your procession to show entitlement for treatment.  Patients are reminded to inform the BMC at the earliest opportunity that they have attended hospital for medical treatment so the computer system can be annotated and also for billing purposes.
