Why Scandinavian countries?

The Scandinavian health and social care model emphasizes universal access, social solidarity, and equity, integrating comprehensive, patient-centered care with a strong focus on prevention and public health for all citizens. This efficient, innovative approach makes it a global leader in healthcare.
The Norwegian health service is based on the principles of equality, accessibility, and a holistic approach to the individual. Health services shall be of high quality, adapted to individual needs, and organized to ensure equal access to services regardless of the individual’s financial situation, place of residence, age, or gender. The health service shall also be characterized by respect for the individual’s autonomy, integrity, and participation in decisions about their own health and care.
