Who to Call
The numbers a Heimaey household needs — the ferry, the clinic, the municipality and waste, with tappable numbers.
The numbers a Heimaey household actually needs — the ferry, the clinic, the municipality and waste — in one place. On an island with no road out, knowing the after-hours health flow and the ferry office matters more than most places.
After-hours health: call 1700 first
For acute care outside the clinic's weekday hours (08:00–15:00) — evenings, nights, weekends and holidays — call 1700 before going in, then go to the acute-care reception at HSU. For a life-threatening emergency call 112. Serious cases are transferred off the island by air or sea, so ferry and flight status can be a health matter too.
