Did you get a strange letter in Swedish with this headline?
No problem, we will try to sort it out here!
(Denna text är avsedd för nyinflyttade som inte kan svenska, bloggen kommer även i fortsättningen skrivas på svenska.)
In Skåne everyone is enrolled with a health care center for primary care (family medicine). The letter is sent to all new inhabitants of Skåne. If you do not make an active choice when you receive the letter you will be enrolled at the center closest to your home. The name of that center is stated in the upper corner of the letter. If your default choice is ”Vårdcentralen Norra Fäladen” please keep on reading to learn more about the alternative choice in your own neighbourhood.
Hälsocentralen Sankt Hans opened October 2009 in North Lund. We are situated close to Delphi, at Fäladstorget 22. We enjoy offering you accessible health care at generous opening hours (monday-friday 8 am- 7 pm). We are as a matter of fact open all days, all year around. On saturdays, sundays and holidays we are open for urgent medical problems from noon to 2 pm. (The usual health care centers typically have opening hours from 8 am to 5 pm monday-friday).
Our medical staff is very stable. Of course you want your doctor to be in office when your test results arrive! In Swedish primary care ”one-week-doctors” from staff agencies is unfortunately very common, resulting in obvious problems when it comes to follow-up and communication of test results. At Hälsocentralen Sankt Hans we make a big effort to offer the same doctor on every visit unless there are special reasons to do otherwise.
And there is no extra cost. Our prices are exactly the same as at all the other health care centers. The patient fee is SEK 120 if you are a resident of Skåne (with ”4 last digits”) and enrolled with us. If you still live in an other EU/EEC country the price is SEK 200 SEK. If you are a resident of a country outside EU/EEC the fee is 906 SEK.
If this sounds interesting please come by with your letter and we can help you with the paper work of making a better choice! You are also very welcome even if you live somewhere else in Skåne. Maybe it is convenient to choose a medical provider close to your work? Gambro, SonyEricsson, ST-Ericsson, Ideon, LTH among others are all within a short bicycle ride.
Welcome!
