Karolinska University Hospital, Teaching hospital in Solna and Huddinge, Sweden
Karolinska University Hospital is a medical facility across two locations in Solna and Huddinge with specialized departments and approximately 1,340 patient beds. The two sites work together as a single institution with different departments treating a range of medical conditions.
The hospital was created in 2004 through a merger of Huddinge University Hospital and Karolinska Hospital. This joining formed Sweden's second-largest medical facility after Sahlgrenska Hospital.

The International Patient Office supports foreign patients with treatment inquiries, cost estimates, visa support, and appointment scheduling at both locations. Both sites are accessible by public transport and provide guidance for patients visiting for the first time.
The hospital regularly ranks among the world's top medical facilities and has maintained a position in the global top ten for several consecutive years. This international recognition reflects the quality of research and patient care delivered daily at the institution.
