Health care
All hospitals have excellent standards of medical service. There is a reciprocal health agreement with the UK. On presentation of a UK passport or NHS card, all in-patient treatment at hospitals and emergency dental treatment for children aged six to 15 is free. Citizens of EU countries, Liechtenstein and Norway get free medical treatment in hospital on presentation of an E-111 form. For others, medical and dental treatment, prescribed medicines and travel by ambulance must be paid for. If wrongly charged, one can apply for a refund by presenting any receipts to the State Social Security Institute, Laugavegur 114, 150 Reykjavk (tel: 560 4400). There are medical centres and hospitals in all major towns and cities. The emergency number for medical assistance is 112 (open 24 hours).
