Sweden’s medical and health care system is top-notch and mostly funded by taxes. To see a doctor, start by contacting your local vårdcentral (healthcare center) for non-emergencies. You can call them or book online, depending on the region. For emergencies, head to the nearest hospital’s A&E. Specialist appointments usually require a referral from a GP. The costs are subsidized, so you’ll pay a small fee per visit, capped annually. Don’t forget your personnummer—it’s essential for accessing healthcare, and if you're visiting as an EU-citizen, your EU-card will be needed.
