About us

«Quality care for a growing population»

Our vision is summed up in just a few words, but its meaning is rich and diverse. A better world demands greater access to healthcare and better treatment for people across all national borders.

A story about new opportunities

Norveig Hospitals is the result of three heads being better than one. When a medical professor, an architect and a building contractor found each other in a discussion about tomorrow's hospitals, an opportunity arose to create them for people all over the world. And we’re already well on our way!

Work with Norveig Hospitals began in 2018, back then under the project name Next Generation Hospital. In our work, we conducted research into how our hospitals can best facilitate high recovery rates for common diseases in a typical local population. By always putting people at the centre of our business, we have developed Norveig into a state-of-the-art hospital concept that combines the best of quality care, healing design and medical technology.

During the process we have established links with a number of people who share a common desire to offer safe, comprehensive healthcare to more and more people around the world.
