"A great way for expats having a baby in Reykjavik to become familiar with the city’s healthcare system is to find an English-speaking expat support group. They can provide invaluable advice, from helping with paperwork, to recommending doctors and midwives. In addition, make sure to investigate the maternity benefits that come with your health insurance and take advantage of the health services provided by the Icelandic National Health Service, known as sjúkratryggingar. Finally, utilizing online parenting websites and local support groups can help you find others in a similar situation and provide additional information on what to expect in terms of the health care system and the resources available for new parents," remarked another expat who made the move to Reykjavik, Iceland.
