Our mission
Fjarlækningar was founded by a team of doctors in 2021 with the goal of making medical care more accessible across the country through secure digital solutions.
Secure patient portal
The Fjarlækningar patient portal is Icelandic and built to the highest standards of security and quality. All communication is encrypted and accessible only to the patient and the doctor.
Professional and experienced doctors
Fjarlækningar doctors are experienced and fully licensed. If a red flag appears in the questionnaires, patients are directed to the appropriate pathway within the healthcare system.
Prescription and follow-up
The doctor recommends treatment based on the patient’s answers, and if a prescription is issued, it is sent directly to the electronic prescription portal, where it can be collected at the nearest pharmacy.
