[en] As in all European countries, the CHL's Emergency Department is faced with a constant increase in the number of patients. The demographic patient profile in the 2001 survey shows a majority of young males with traumatic problems. Mostly evoked reasons for the increase are the lack of availability of general practitioners and patients' low level of information about the competences of GPs. The article discusses possible solutions to the bottlenecks in Emergency Departments.
