The World Health Organization advises you to:
The Greenland Ministry of Health advises that you take a comprehensive health travel insurance policy which covers all aspects of ill health, including sudden onset of disease emergencies, hospital admission, therapy, medication, dental care and home transportation. Please ensure that your insurance policy also covers ambulance transportation from sparsely populated or desolate areas in Greenland. For more information you can refer to guidelines by Greenland’s Ministry of Health.
If you plan to travel to Greenland in the near future, please talk to your insurer specifically about coverage and risks related to COVID-19 in the case you are put into quarantine or fall sick.
Please note that Greenland is a remote country with a limited health system. In the major towns there are small hospitals, and in the settlements there are nursing clinics. It is recommended that you are fit and able-bodied to travel in Greenland. It can be a costly and timely affair to transport you to a hospital in Greenland if you become seriously ill.
If you feel unwell while you are in Greenland with COVID-19 symptoms, you must contact the health service by telephone so that they are prepared for your arrival. This way they will clear the waiting room or make sure that there is a facility where you can enter directly to avoid spreading the infection. You can find out more about hospitals and other relevant information in our FAQS.
