All Norwegian citizens and residents have the right to free healthcare and have access to free medical treatments. If you are a foreigner working or studying in Norway, you can also access the social security system. This is possible because the Norwegian system is tax-funded, financed by the government and administered by the different Norwegian municipalities.
The state also owns the hospitals and health facilities which are managed on regional basis. Regional hospitals and medical facilities are generally free to budget their time and money, but they are subject to the resources assigned to them by the central government.
Primary health care is taken care of by the Norwegian municipalities that basically deal with general medical care, emergencies and personal care outside hospital facilities. They also implement campaigns in schools and other public facilities to raise awareness about common health issues.
Emergencies
Here you have some useful numbers you can dial in case of emergencies:
110 - Fire department
112 - Police
911 - Police but only from a mobile phone
113 - Emergency
120 - Sea rescue
In Norway, the emergency services are operated by both state-financed and private organizations. In most cases the ambulance service is managed by the Health trust.
