We at the the Swedish Red Cross University are happy to help you to a local emergency unit or an emergency clinic if you should get ill during your stay.
Local emergency units
The local emergency units are available for urgent, but non life-threatening medical treatment. For sudden, serious illnesses and injuries, you should turn to an emergency clinic at a hospital.

Another option for seeking medical advice without having to visit a hospital or a clinic, is by calling 1177 where you can get advice from licensed nurses.

The Student Health Centre
As a student at The Swedish Red Cross University you are also welcome to visit the Student Health Centre (Studenthälsan). The aim of the Student Health Centre is to promote physical and mental health of our students. It doesn't replace the primary healthcare clinic where conventional healthcare is provided, but acts as a complement to it. The health centre is located at Berzelius väg 1, 5th floor on the Karolinska Institute campus Solna and Blickagången 7, 5th floor on Karolinska Institute campus Huddinge. For contact and more information, see www.ki.se/studenthalsan.
