Health trust or HF (Norwegian: helseforetak) is a health enterprise owned by one of the four regional health authorities in Norway, with responsibility for performing a geographic and/or specialist activities of operations on behalf of the regional health authority.
There are 43 HFs in Norway, each led by a board of directors appointed by the authority.
The four Regional Health Authorities each own a pharmaceutical trust, organized as a health trust, that manages hospital pharmacies.
But some hospitals instead use commercial pharmacies that are part of the chains.
All 33 hospital pharmacies belong to the Ditt Apotek chain, on franchise from Norsk Medisinaldepot.
