National University Hospital Reykjavík

Iceland's National University Hospital in Reykjavik is known as the Landspítalinn to locals. The centre serves as the cornerstone for the health services in all of Iceland – this is largely due to the fact that all Icelandic doctors are required to complete at least one rotation here to earn their certification. The National University Hospital is nearly 90% funded through Iceland’s general budget, receiving around a quarter of the funds spent on the entire health service. Landspítalinn receives the balance of it’s operational fund from patient contributions and services provided to other medical outlets.
