For residents of Bucharest, quick access to medical care can make a real difference in critical moments. While public emergency hospitals remain the primary points of intervention, an increasing number of patients are turning to private hospitals with 24/7 service, which offer shorter waiting times, modern facilities, and dedicated emergency departments.

Several private networks in Bucharest — including Sanador, MedLife, Medicover, Regina Maria, and Wellborn — provide round-the-clock medical services, ranging from general emergencies and pediatric consultations to surgical procedures and maternity care. These centers have emergency reception units (ERUs), specialized medical teams, their own ambulances, and permanent contact lines, making them a reliable alternative for situations that require immediate care but do not necessarily constitute a life-threatening emergency.

Below is an updated list of private hospitals and medical centers in Bucharest that operate 24/7, along with their main services and practical tips for choosing the right facility based on your needs.

How to choose the right facility (practical tips)

• Life-threatening emergency: Call 112; if possible, notify the private hospital dispatch to prepare reception. Sanador, for example, has its own dispatch and ambulance service.
• Non-life-threatening urgent care: Contact the ER/reception of the private hospital first (numbers available on official websites) or subscription hotlines (e.g., Regina Maria) for triage.
• Pediatric or obstetric emergencies: Choose specialized units (MedLife pediatric hospital, Wellborn maternity, Ponderas pediatrics).
• Prepare documents in advance: ID, insurance/subscription card, and medical history are often required at admission.

Quick pre-check checklist

• Verify official website: confirm ER / emergency reception operates 24/7.
• Check exact address and route (traffic in Bucharest can be heavy; every minute counts in emergencies).
• Emergency contact number / dispatch center (e.g., SANADOR 021-9699 for dispatch/ER).

Final notes

Large private networks (Sanador, MedLife, Medicover, Regina Maria/Ponderas) are most frequently recommended for 24/7 private services — offering ER, imaging, and modern surgical departments. Always check the hospital’s official page; hours and services may vary due to internal reorganizations.
