register with a health centre
To register as a patient at a particular health centre (vårdcentral). It means that clinic is responsible for your basic care and that you have a fixed place to turn to, which helps with follow-up, prescriptions and referrals.
You choose the clinic yourself and can change it, usually online through 1177 after logging in with e-identification, or by filling in a form at the clinic. You can still visit other clinics, including in other regions.
If you never choose, the region may place you with a clinic near where you live, depending on the rules in your region.
