Find Doctors and Health Care in Norway

The standard of medical care is very high in Norway, and finding a doctor who speaks English should be no problem. Medical treatment, however can be expensive for a foreign visitor.

The Bergen Legevakt is located at Vestre Stromskaein 19, 5008 Bergen. The telephone numuber is 55 56 87 60. It is open 24 hours.

For regular doctor appointments or non-emergencies there are medical clinics and general practitioners throughout the country. An appointment is expected for these, so call before showing up.
