The aim is to support SAk staff in scientific research and to ensure access to professional advice and the specialist expertise of RHA.

“With this cooperation, an important step is being taken towards building stronger research infrastructure,” says Laufey Hrólfsdóttir. “We want staff at Akureyri Hospital who are interested in conducting scientific research and working on innovation within the healthcare system to receive strong support in developing and implementing their ideas.”

“We at RHA are very much looking forward to the collaboration,” says Arnar Þór. “RHA has conducted research and supported the research of others for over 30 years, and we see significant opportunities in strengthening our ties with the rapidly growing scientific activity taking place at Akureyri Hospital.”
