Service commitment
Our aim
To ensure that the users of health and social services have received an acceptable level of service from Oslo kommune (Oslo city council), and that the employees working for the council have performed their duties correctly, without neglect.
We also act as Pasient- og brukerombudet for Oslo (the Patient ombudsman for Oslo). Our job is to safeguard the needs, interests and legal rights of users of the national health services and the local health and social services. We also work to improve the quality within these services.
