Founded in 2014, Sykehusbygg (the Norwegian Hospital ConstructionAgency) is owned by Norway’s four regional health authorities, which, in turn, derive their funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Health. The agency aims to ensure national know-how for hospital planning, design, engineering and construction remains at the highest international level. Sykehusbygg seeks to facilitate and contribute to progressive hospital development projects through innovation, experience, standardisation, project management, and best practices.

Sykehusbygg looks to ensure that experience from management and operation of hospital property is considered in new hospital projects. The agency must be used by all major Norwegian hospital development projects (over NOK 500 million). The agency only serves
the four regional health authorities and their underlying authorities, as well as parties entering into joint ownership with these bodies.
