Health care centres provide all general health care services and treatment for minor injuries and ailments
You can go to any health care center, but it is best to go to the one closest to your home.
The centres should be the first stop for treatment – unless you have an emergency. Health care centres are first and foremost considered community service providers for residents who live in that municipality or neighbourhood.
The clinics also provide maternity care, infant and child health care, school health care and home nursing.
Children younger than 18 do not have to pay appointment fees at health care clinics or fees for house calls from doctors. However, children who do not have health insurance must pay the full fee.
The healthcare centres offer late-afternoon standby services for a few hours after the general service period ends.
There are two health centres in Hafnarfjörður.
Walk-in nursing services for abrupt illnesses and minor accidents. The registered nurse will consult a doctor if necessary.
Walk-in medical services from 16–17 on weekdays. No need to book in advance.
