You have the right to the same health care as everyone in Norway, such as going to the doctor or hospital and receiving certain types of medication. The right to health care applies when you come to Norway and ask for protection (asylum).

You can get a GP. Meaning that you can go to the same doctor every time. To get a GP, you can call the GP phone, +47 810 59 500.

How to get in touch with a doctor

• Contact a doctor where you live if you need health care.
• If you have an urgent need for medical help, you can contact the emergency room.
• Call telephone number +47 116 117 to contact the nearest emergency room.
• You can ask for help from the staff at the asylum reception to book an appointment.
