Healthcare in Iceland: What to do if you get sick

When traveling to Iceland we always strongly advise all our passengers to purchase comprehensive travel insurance. Travelers 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 specialized equipment in perfect condition.

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 hospitalized in one of the main two hospitals in Iceland. One is located in the very center 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 travelers’ in-patient hospitalization is free. Keep in mind that ambulance services cost a fee.
