Healthcare in Iceland: What to do if you get sick

When travelling to Iceland we always strongly advise all our passengers to purchase comprehensive travel insurance. Travellers who need to visit a doctor in Iceland should make sure they bring an insurance card or papers, and a valid passport and/or international identity document.

Whilst the likelihood of COVID19 infection in Iceland is very low, healthcare facilities around the country have still prepared robust response plans. The Surgeon General, Alma Möller, has confirmed that the National Hospital is well-equipped to handle coronavirus patients, with specialised equipment in perfect condition.

  • If you think you have been infected with the coronavirus, health officials recommend that you immediately self-quarantine and call 1770 (+354 544 4113). Do not visit any healthcare centres unless you are explicitly directed to.

In the very unlikely event that you contract COVID19 in Iceland, and develop respiratory issues or other complications related to the virus, you will be hospitalised in one of the main two hospitals in Iceland. One is located in the very centre of Reykjavik, and the other is in the Reykjavik suburbs, about a 10-minute drive from downtown. Iceland is renowned for its excellent healthcare, and for insured travellers’ in-patient hospitalisation is free. Keep in mind that ambulance services cost a fee.
