Scanhealth Scandinavia is a partnership of three health care providers

• Privatsykehuset Haugesund (a private hospital)
  
• Haugesund Røntgen Institutt (a private radiology centre, located nearby)
  
• Klinikk Hausken (a private infertility centre, also located nearby)

in Haugesund, at the Southwest coast of Norway.  We have new high-quality medical equipment and top-qualified personnel that are present at all operations.  
 
Haugesund is only 1.5hrs from London Stansted via a direct flight with Ryanair, and Scanhealth is situated only 15 min. from Haugesund Airport. 

Quality of care and personal service
In November 2004, the hospital received ISO approval (NS-EN ISO 9001: 2000 and NS-EN ISO 14001:1996) for their services in orthopaedics and ophthalmology. It is only one of a few to be awarded this certification.

Orthopaedic Department
The Orthopaedic Department has its own hospital ward with four beds as well as an extensive outpatient surgery practice. The patients admitted to the ward, have mostly had operations for implanting prosthetic joints in their hips or knees.
The ward only accommodates 4 inpatients at a time, so you will have full attention and care from the nurses and staff during your stay. The food, four meals a day, is delivered from the best gourmet restaurant in town. During your stay you will receive extensive rehabilitation with the hospitals physical therapist.

We have top-quality operating and recovery rooms and offer a wide range of operative procedures.  The orthopaedic department have performed more than 1500 surgical procedures per year. 

Our orthopaedic surgeons have extensive experience in surgical procedures using endoscopes ("keyhole surgery") and advanced prosthesis surgery involving total prosthetics for hips and knees as well as uni knee prosthetics. We have a new operating ward with advanced equipment for this purpose, and work in conjunction with our own anesthesiologists.

Ophthalmic Department

The eye department handles all types of eye-related problems, although there is a clear surgical profile.

The section has its own surgical unit where we treat patients with cataracts and perform various sight-correcting procedures.

We possess the most advanced laser on the market for operating on near-sightedness and long-sightedness.

We can also perform operations for treating severe vision impairment using a technique known as ICL implantation. 

ReStor® is a new revolutionary way to treat presbyopi. The Restor® intraocular lens (IOL) is designed to improve vision at all distances.

Radiology department

 The radiology department carries out x-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, mammography, bone density measuring and MRI scans. The aim of the department is to:

•  Deliver the best possible service to patients and referring doctors.
  
• Provide the latest state of the art scanning technology.
  
• Employ radiographers and radiologists that are the best in their field.

Cost savings -  Not only are our fees very competitive but our patients get VIP treatment and an opportunity to experience a visit to the wonderful west coast of Norway. MRI scans are priced in "body parts" and a simple MRI scan + trip starts at £300.
