Finnmarkssykehuset HF has had prehospital services in Hammerfest, which included an ambulance station. This station has been part of the regional health service and has been responsible for emergency medical services in the area. Ambulance personnel have been trained to handle a variety of medical emergencies and have collaborated with other health authorities to ensure patient care.
The ambulance station in Hammerfest has now closed and has been relocated. This may have affected the response time and organization of emergency medical services in the region, as resources are now concentrated in alternative locations. Finnmarkssykehuset HF continues to provide prehospital services, but with changes in structure and location.
