Today, on the rescheduled working day, outpatient appointments and diagnostic examinations will not be conducted at the Riga Eastern Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS), the hospital informed the LETA agency.
Accordingly, the unified phone number for appointment scheduling — 67000610 — will not be operational today.

The hospital explained that the decision not to move the day off was made to ensure the continuity of the treatment process, to avoid misunderstandings, and to eliminate risks associated, for example, with the need to reschedule visits and other circumstances.
The emergency medical clinic and patient reception, as well as the eye trauma center at the Bikerneki inpatient facility, will continue to operate without weekends and around the clock, providing emergency assistance to patients with acute conditions.
