Children in the Norwegian health care system
1Department of Pediatrics, Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway.
Abstract:
Norway is a large, sparsely populated country with a long tradition of socialized health care. The health status of Norwegians is good, with life expectancy among the highest in Europe. Indicators of infant health are also good, although not among the best. Health services in Norway are in principle free of charge to all citizens, and the current health expenditure is about 6.8% of the Gross National Product. Preventive and curative pediatric services account for only 3% of this total. The structure of Norwegian health and social services is presented in this discussion, both in general terms and with particular attention to services for children.
