The care that you require will depend on how serious your injury or illness is. Sometimes, you may need medical care or treatment for very serious injuries or illnesses. Sometimes, you can take care of yourself at home after getting self-care advice from a nurse. There are many different places that can provide you with healthcare. All clinics have trained specialists. 

You can call 1177 (+46 771-11 77 00 if you have a foreign number) and speak to a nurse, who will be able to give you advice about illnesses and health. Sometimes, the nurse will inform you about how you can treat your condition on your own. The nurse will also be able to help you find the right healthcare for you, if you need it. Read more (in Swedish).

When calling 1177, you only pay the usual call rate. The advice is free of charge.
