Norway’s general practitioner (GP) system, a cornerstone of its healthcare model, relies heavily on trust between patients and doctors, and crucially, between the state and the GPs themselves. The system is currently facing challenges that threaten its stability. Without maintaining this trust, a new crisis in primary care could emerge. The core of the concern is that government actions risk undermining the foundation of the existing relationship with doctors. Ensuring consistent support and fostering a collaborative environment are essential to prevent the system from collapsing. The continued provision of accessible and quality primary care depends on a strong, trusting partnership between all stakeholders. A failure to address these concerns could leave patients without adequate access to essential medical services.
