Getting a General Practitioner (GP)

All international students staying in Norway for more than 12 months have the right to register with a GP - called a fastlege in Norway. You will need your personal Norwegian ID-number before you can register with a GP. Don't worry: you can still see a doctor even if you don't have your ID-number or are staying for less than a year.

To call a GP, call the Fastlegetelefonen:

810 59 500
