Background on Norway: A country of 5.35 million people, spread over 385 000 square kilometers. It consists of 11 counties and 356 municipalities. Life expectancy age is 82.5 and the country has been said to be one of the safest and most equal in the world. The healthcare system is public.
The country has a high adaptivity of digital solutions. The healthcare system is not the highest digitalized sector, but the need is great, and society is pushing for increased speed. As for all countries in the western world, there will be an increase in elderly population and chronical diseases, as well as a decrease in resources available.
The country spends 10.049% of GDP on health (2018 number) according to The World Bank. Even though the spend based on % of GDP is close to average, the expenditure per capita is among the highest in the world. One explanation (according to the OECD report) is that Norway allocates more to long-term care services than any other country.
In this webinar you will get an introduction to the Norwegian healthcare system, the procedures and needs. Also, we will meet companies from the UK that have relevant solutions.
