Summer at the office
This summer will be different from any other. Perhaps it is more important than ever to appreciate the little things, and spend a lot of time outdoors. But remember that the pandemic is far from over, so continue to keep your distance.
The office will be staffed weekdays 9 am to 12 am from July 6th to August 10th. After that we are back to regular office hours.
No new treatment requests due to COVID-19
We regret to inform you that due to national travel and health restrictions following the COVID-19 pandemic we are not able to offer any new appointments for planned care at Sahlgrenska University Hospital until further notice. In these unprecedented times, the priority is to secure care for those already here who need it the most. Elective care that can wait, will be postponed to enforce the hospital’s COVID-19 readiness.
We hope that we will be able to resume planned care for international patients as soon as deemed possible. Please contact us again in 1-2 months to get a new update on the current status.
In the meantime, stay safe!
Season's greetings!
We wish you a very happy Holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year!
The office will be closed December 24th – 29th and December 31st – January 1st. We will be back in business on January 2nd. Happy holidays!
