Ullevål University Hospital

Ullevål University Hospital is a major teaching hospital in Oslo that spans multiple campuses with numerous buildings providing medical care to residents of the city and surrounding areas. The facility houses various specialized medical departments and treatment units organized across its distributed complex.

The hospital was founded in 1887 as a municipal facility and gradually became one of Norway's leading medical institutions. In 2009, it merged with other university hospitals to form what is now Oslo University Hospital.

The hospital maintains close ties with the University of Oslo's Faculty of Medicine, serving as a teaching institution for medical students and researchers. Visitors can observe how clinical work and academic training happen side by side within the facility.

The hospital is well connected to Oslo's public transport system and has parking available for patients and visitors. It helps to locate the specific department you need before arriving, as the campus is quite large and spread across multiple buildings.

The hospital has a helicopter landing pad situated on top of a parking structure near the emergency department, allowing rapid transport of critically ill patients by air. This emergency air rescue facility is a key part of the hospital's trauma response system.
