While there isn't a hospital directly in the village, a general practitioner's office or a first-aid station is available for minor injuries and illnesses. For more serious emergencies, there are established protocols for rapid transport to larger medical facilities in the valley (e.g., Visp) or beyond. Emergency numbers (e.g., 144 for ambulance in Switzerland) are widely available. Operating hours for local services are typically during daytime on weekdays, with on-call services for emergencies. It ensures basic health support is readily accessible.
