General practitioners
If you need medical attention from a GP, you can contact the region's health centre by phone, and after a short conversation about the problem, you will be given a time for an examination. You should be aware that calls can only be made at a specific time, and that there may be waiting times. Be patient and wait – you will get through eventually and get the treatment you need.
Netdoktor
