The Oslo emergency room is located in the Aker hospital area, in building 40, and offers emergency health care available around the clock. The emergency room is divided into three specific areas: accident emergency room, psychiatric emergency room and general emergency room. Oslo University Hospital is responsible for both the emergency department and the psychiatric emergency department, which ensures specialized treatment for various acute health conditions.
At the emergency room, patients can receive treatment for injuries and illnesses, as well as help with acute mental illness. The services are available when the GP is not available, which provides an important offer to the residents of Oslo. In addition to the emergency room, there is an orthopedic department in the same building, which includes an outpatient clinic, physiotherapy, hand therapy, operating theaters and bedside posts.
