“Health is the core of human development.” – Gro Harlem Brundtland
Norway is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to health care. Everyone who is a resident in Norway has the right to economic assistance from the state. However, to those of us who come from outside, how the health care system functions still may seem very confusing at times. That is why this seminar is going to help a great deal! Hilde Toresen, from Stavanger Kommune, has kindly offered to come and speak to us about all the most important aspects of the Norwegian Health System. Some of the topics that will be covered are: – Norwegian National Insurance Scheme – how does it work? – What are you legally entitled to, what are your rights? – How contact a GP/ change GP – Differences between public and private walk-in emergency medical clinics – Pharmacies – what types of medications need prescriptions?- Health Care for Children (vaccinations, maternity/paternity leave rights, etc.)- Hospitalisation and emergency And, of course, Hilde will answer any questions you may have during the seminar. Please come to learn more about the most important thing in life – your health!
