Information about the Norwegian general practioner (GP) system

If you are here for a short-term stay and do not receive a Norwegian ID-number, you will not be allocated a GP. You will still have access to medical services.

International students with a Norwegian social security number. 

If you have received a social security number, you will be allocated a GP in or near Bergen. You can change your GP to one of our medical centres if you like. If you already have a GP in Bergen, you will not receive emergency appointments with our doctors.  

How to change your GP  

You can change your GP twice each calendar year, and this is how you do it.
