Iceland has universal health care. The health care system is largely paid for by taxes (85%) and to some extent by service fees (15%) and is administrated by The Ministry of Welfare (Icelandic: Velferðarráðuneytið).[1] A considerable portion of government spending is assigned to healthcare.[2]
The country is divided into 7 health care regions.[3]
There is almost no private health insurance in Iceland, and no private hospitals.[4]
