Telemedicine consultations through TouristDr allow international visitors in Sweden to speak with a licensed Swedish physician online, without needing a Swedish personal number (personnummer) or BankID.
This service is designed for tourists, expats, business travelers, Erasmus students and international residents who need medical advice while staying in Sweden.
Through TouristDr, patients can receive professional medical guidance quickly and safely, whether they need help with a new medical concern, follow-up consultation, or prescription renewal.
TouristDr is Mindr’s telemedicine platform created specifically for international patients navigating the Swedish healthcare system.
Many public healthcare services in Sweden require a personnummer and BankID, which makes it difficult for visitors to access care.
TouristDr removes these barriers by allowing patients to connect directly with licensed Swedish physicians online.

Telemedicine consultations can be appropriate for many non-urgent medical concerns.
TouristDr is intended for:
