HEALTHCARE IN SWEDEN
GENERAL
If you need medical services during your stay in Sweden, visit the nearest clinic (Vårdcentral) or hospital emergency room (Akutmottagning). Bring your passport, documents and health insurance.
Most hotels and other accommodations in Sweden maintain contact with a nearby doctor who can be summoned quickly in case of illness. Municipal authorities supply emergency medical care, and hotel staff can direct guests to local emergency centres or hospitals.
Citizens from North America and other countries from outside the EU/EEA countries must pay for the medical treatment. Make sure that you are covered by your health insurance and bring necessary documents on your trip.
Citizens from within EU/EEA countries and some other countries with which Sweden has a special agreement are entitled to the same medical services as the Swedes.
