The Health and Social Security section of the Info Norden website provides comprehensive information about the Faroese healthcare and social security systems for anyone living in, moving to, or working in the Faroe Islands.

It explains your rights and obligations regarding public health services, including access to medical care, health insurance coverage, and related support schemes such as social assistance, sickness benefit, pensions, and disability benefits.

The guide helps you understand how health and social security services are organized and financed, as well as how these systems interact with Nordic and international regulations.

This resource is especially valuable for Nordic citizens, who generally have coordinated social security rights across Nordic countries, and for non-Nordic residents navigating Faroese rules and requirements.
