 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since the moment I came in they were so nice to me. I needed to make some tests and they were so helpful, they even did some simple test right there in order to dismiss any big infection which should be treated right away. They booked my sample appointment directly with the hospital, so I did not need to worry about any bureaucracy and paper work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. English version below. Jag behövde en ultraljudsundersökning av sköldkörteln och blodprover efter en operation som jag genomgick i Danmark. Eftersom ingreppet utfördes utomlands vägrade privata endokrinologiska kliniker i Göteborg att ta emot mig, och jag fick vänta i två månader på en tid på Sahlgrenska. Jag kontaktade Mindr och fick precis den hjälp jag behövde – en tid och blodprover redan nästa dag samt en ultraljudsundersökning inom 48 timmar efter mitt samtal. Efter undersökningarna tog Dr. Toha sig tid att gå igenom resultaten med mig och förklarade allt tydligt. Jag kunde inte vara nöjdare. English: I needed a thyroid ultrasound and blood tests following surgery I had in Denmark. Because the procedure was performed abroad, private endocrinology clinics in Göteborg refused to accept me, and I had to wait two months for an appointment at Sahlgrenska. I contacted Mindr and received exactly the help I needed—an appointment and blood tests the very next day, and an ultrasound within 48 hours of my call. After the tests, Dr. Toha took the time to go through the results with me and explained everything clearly. I couldn’t be happier.

It was also very convenient that the clinic is just 5 minutes walk from Nordstan, and the clinic very easy to find. I recommend Navid and Mindr for all who want quick and professional help. Thank you again Navid.

FAQ - Seeing a Doctor in Sweden Without a Personal Number

Can tourists see a doctor in Sweden without a personal number?

Yes. Tourists and international visitors can see a doctor in Sweden through private clinics without needing a Swedish personal number (personnummer) or BankID. Many public healthcare services require digital identification, but private clinics like Mindr provide direct access to licensed physicians for international patients.

Do I need BankID to book a medical appointment in Sweden?

No. BankID is often required for public healthcare services in Sweden, but it is not necessary at private clinics. International patients can book appointments online, by phone, email or WhatsApp without digital Swedish identification.

Can foreigners get a prescription in Sweden?

Yes. Licensed Swedish physicians can issue electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions) for international patients. These prescriptions can be collected at any pharmacy in Sweden.

Are there English-speaking doctors in Sweden?

Yes. Many private clinics in Sweden offer consultations in English. At Mindr, our physicians regularly treat tourists, expats and international students, and consultations are conducted in English to ensure clear communication and safe medical care.

Will my travel insurance cover a doctor’s visit in Sweden?

Many international travel insurance policies cover private medical consultations in Sweden. Mindr provides medical receipts and insurance claim documentation suitable for reimbursement from international insurers. Please contact your travel insurance if you have any questions or queries.

How much does it cost to see a doctor in Sweden as a tourist?

For international visitors in Sweden, a doctor’s visit typically costs around 2200–2500 SEK in the public healthcare system, depending on the region and type of consultation. However, access to public healthcare can be limited for tourists because many services require a Swedish personal number (personnummer) and digital identification through BankID.

Private clinics provide a more accessible option for international patients. Consultations can be booked without a Swedish personal number or BankID, and patients receive transparent pricing, English-language consultations and detailed medical documentation for travel insurance reimbursement.

At Mindr, international patients can quickly book an appointment and receive medical care from licensed Swedish physicians without the administrative barriers often found in the public system.

Can I get same-day medical care in Sweden as a visitor?

Yes. Private clinics often provide same-day appointments for international patients. At Mindr, we also reserve urgent consultation slots so patients can often be seen quickly if they call during the day.

What should I do if I get sick while visiting Sweden?

If you experience a non-emergency medical issue during your stay in Sweden, you can contact a private clinic for a medical consultation. For life-threatening emergencies, call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Can international patients receive medical certificates in Sweden?

Yes. Licensed Swedish physicians can issue medical certificates for travel, work, insurance claims or medication documentation when medically appropriate.

Why do international patients choose private clinics in Sweden?

Private clinics provide faster access to care and do not require Swedish digital identification such as BankID or a personal number. They also offer English-language consultations, transparent pricing and documentation suitable for international insurance claims.

Can tourists use public healthcare in Sweden?

Tourists can receive emergency treatment in Sweden’s public healthcare system, but access to regular medical services is often limited without a Swedish personal number (personnummer) or BankID. For non-emergency medical care, many international visitors choose private clinics where appointments can be booked easily without Swedish identification.

What is a personnummer and why is it required in Swedish healthcare?

A personnummer is Sweden’s national personal identity number assigned to residents registered in the Swedish population register. It is commonly required to access digital healthcare services, book appointments through public systems, and use BankID for identification. International visitors and short-term residents often do not have a personnummer, which is why private clinics provide an accessible alternative for medical care.

Can international students or Erasmus students see a doctor in Sweden?

Yes. International students and Erasmus students can receive medical care in Sweden through private clinics even if they do not yet have a Swedish personal number or BankID. Many clinics provide English-language consultations and can issue prescriptions, medical certificates and insurance documentation when needed.
