The hospital also has a nationwide responsibility for a number of national and multi-regional assignments and has several national centres of competence.

Some wards and departments may have visiting hours or other restrictions on visits to patients. Please contact the ward/department you intend to visit in advance, to enquire about their practices. ​​

All general covid-related restrictions on visits to the hospital and our patients are now lifted. Visitors no longer need to make an appointment ahead of time, nor are they required to wear face masks in the hospital.​ 

A major part of the total medical research carried out at Norwegian medical centres is performed at Oslo University Hospital. This is the result of the hospital’s general research strategy and its extensive international and national network cooperation.

In this way, the medical centre complies with the requirements of its owner and patients relating to its role as national reference hospital, responsible for introducing and developing new medical examination methods, treatment methods and follow-ups. Research that supports prioritised areas of commitment will also safeguard the operation and development of national and multi-regional assignments, as well as the functions of the medical resource centres.

You will find more information about health care, medical treatment, patient and legal rights and self-service solutions on the webpages of the national digital health hub Helsenorge.
