Bergen Sanitetsforening was founded in 1898 as a local group under the Sanitetskvinnen. The association has a special focus on women's health, mental health and life skills. Through various activities, they work to promote women's health and quality of life. Bergen Women's Health Center serves as a meeting place for women, where events such as maternity meetings, pregnancy cafes and groups for relatives are offered.
The association emphasizes community and networking among women, and there are opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. In addition, anonymous surveys are carried out to obtain feedback from users, which contributes to continuous improvement of the services. Bergen Sanitetsforening is also known for its commitment to the mental health and life skills of young and elderly people, as well as its work with inclusion and the development of women's health centers in Bergen.
