We asked expats in Norway if they have access to public healthcare in Norway. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Norway, you will have access to public healthcare. The healthcare system in Norway is comprehensive and of a high quality, with a wide range of services available. All permanent residents of Norway are entitled to free healthcare, including access to general practitioners, specialists, hospital care, and prescription drugs. The Norwegian healthcare system is funded by taxes, and is free at the point of use," said a member in Norway.
