Distribution of medical supplies
We promote the treatment and follow-up of long-term illnesses at home. The distribution of medical supplies is based on individual needs. For the distribution of medical supplies, you need a decision from the caring unit.
Medical supplies necessary for treatment are distributed to patients with long-term illness and in outpatient care. The medical supplies given at one time are for 3-12 months.
Medical supplies are free of charge. Nurses in charge of the products provide guidance and advice on issues related to use.
Medical supplies are ordered by e-mail or a call.
The supplies must be ordered in good time, preferably two weeks in advance, so that they arrive in time before you run out of the previous batch of supplies.
When ordering, please state your name, date of birth, the name of the product, REF-number and the amount of supplies you want to order. When ordering via e-mail, please also state your municipality of residence and your telephone number.
