Vad är en vårdcentral?

What is a vårdcentral? — In Sweden, when you get sick you go to a vårdcentral first — not directly to a hospital. You call to book an appointment, or book online at 1177.se. Important: when you call 1177, an automated menu answers in Swedish — listen carefully and press the right number. A nurse or doctor then helps you. For emergencies, always call 112.
