About

With one of the most respected and well-funded national healthcare systems in the world, healthcare in Norway is seen as an exemplary way to provide national health coverage to its citizens. Governing health care in Norway is the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services, which is the government ministry in charge of health policy, public health, healthcare services and health legislation in the country. With such a vast remit and serving such an important function within Norwegian society, it is imperative that the Ministry has outstanding support from its internal departments including its legal team, which counsels the organisation on all applicable legal and compliance matters. Made up of advisers and senior advisers, the team is staffed by highly capable and talented lawyers able to advise on all legal aspects of healthcare services including patient rights, health personnel, hospitals, public procurement and state aid.
