As a foreigner living in Oslo, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Oslo if they have access to public healthcare in Oslo. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Oslo, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you are a legal resident and have a valid residence permit. The Norwegian healthcare system is known for its high-quality services and well-trained medical professionals. Public healthcare in Norway is funded through taxes and is available to all residents, including foreigners. You will need to register with a general practitioner (GP) who will be your primary healthcare provider and will refer you to specialists if needed. Emergency care is available to everyone, regardless of their residency status. However, it is important to note that public healthcare in Norway is not entirely free, as there are co-payments for certain services, such as GP visits, specialist consultations, and prescription medications. It is advisable to have health insurance to cover these costs. Overall, you can expect a good standard of healthcare in Oslo, with access to modern facilities and well-trained medical professionals," explained one expat living in Oslo, Norway.
