How to contact us
When you contact the health station, we will assess your situation and refer you to the right professional, if necessary. There are several ways to contact health stations. Choose the channel that suits your situation. It is important that you only contact us through one channel, so that the channels do not become congested and we can serve you faster.
Urgent matters include things like if you suddenly fall ill, suffer a sudden injury, your long-term illness gets worse, or you otherwise need fast assessment and treatment, and waiting would make things worse. In emergencies, please call 112.
