The "Right to Health
Care" in Norway.
This is where the government of Norway stands officially on the Right to Health Care
Norway's Right To Health Care
The patient is entitled to emergency medical services. The patient is entitled to receive required health care from the municipal health service.
The patient is entitled to receive required health care from the specialist health service. The health service shall give anyone who applies for or who needs health care the medical and treatment-related information he will need in order to safeguard his rights.
The right to health care only applies if the patient can be expected to benefit from the health care, and that the costs are reasonable compared to the expected effect that can be gained from the relevant medical measure.
The right to health care only applies to the publicly funded specialist health service within the Realm and other providers that the county municipality has entered into an agreement with relating to the provision of services and within the limits that capacity allows.
The King may lay down regulations relating to what shall be deemed to be health care which the patient may be entitled to, and the time limit for the implementation of such health care.
