Medical Help

To see a doctor or nurse regarding general medical issues, you see a public or private health centre (Vårdcentral). 

The St Lars Health Centre in Lund cooperates with Student Health to provide students with a health service for general medical issues. All staff speak English and can help international students with their general medical concerns.

You can choose which health centre you wish to go to in Lund, Malmö or Helsingborg. Find health centre contact details on the Region Skåne website (Note that this link takes you to a webpage in Swedish, but you can select the city where you wish to find a health centre/Vårdcentral using the "I vilken kommun?" ("in which municipality?") box with drop down options. The list of results display below the box - you should see the Lund results automatically when you click on the above link).

Please read the detailed information on what to do if you need to see someone regarding sexual health and birth control.

Always bring you ID card and if you don't have a Swedish social security number, also bring your Admission letter/Letter of Acceptance and proof of insurance.
