As a foreigner living in Norway, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Norway, you will have access to public healthcare. The healthcare system in Norway is comprehensive and of a high quality, with a wide range of services available. All permanent residents of Norway are entitled to free healthcare, including access to general practitioners, specialists, hospital care, and prescription drugs.
