About the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services

Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services was founded in January 2004. The centre is organised under The Directorate for Health and Social Affairs but is scientifically and professionally independent. The organisation disseminates evidence about the effect and quality of methods and interventions within all parts of the health services. The uptake of this evidence by the health services is also an important goal for the centre's activities.
