How can NSH contribute to the health service of today and tomorrow?
NSH was established in1937.There was an urgent need for an association which
could, on a professionally and politically neutral basis, bring to attention the
wide spectre of problems the Norwegian health service was facing, and to
influence the authorities to take control and responsibility. From this starting
point the association has succeeded in making the authorities the most important
resource in securing a high level of quality.
Today the tasks are, of course, of a different kind as the situation and
problems within the health service have become far more complex and varied.
Our association is more strongly needed than ever.
Thus our association's visions are:
- NSH shall play an active part in securing the right development and
proper use of resources in the health service.
- NSH shall encourage dialogue and mutual trust between personnel and
clients in the health sector.
NSH's goals are described in the regulations as follows:
- To bring up and illuminate current and essential approaches to problems
in Norwegian health care.
- To contribute to an increased competence level and to an exchange of
experience in health care.
- To develop interdisciplinary co-operation between different health
personnel groups, and a fruitful co-operation between institutions and
administration level.
- To aim towards a development of Norwegian health service which has a
respectful approach to human, medical and caring needs, and to encourage
equality and respect for the individual human being.
NSH aims for the future:
- Be engaged in the debate and dialog about the health service development
in which the association represents all groups.
- Be a meeting place for constructive and confidence-inspiring dialog.
NSH's interdisciplinary representation gives us great opportunities to
achieve better solutions to the challenges faced by the health service, and to
be heard in the debate about the development focused on clients' and patients'
interests in Norwegian health service.
NSH aims to play a major part in the forthcoming development of the Norwegian
health service.
