The year 2003 will mark the 4th centenary of the Norwegian public health system. The formal occasion is the appointment of Dr. Vilhadius Adamius (c. 1564-1616) as ordinario medico in 1603. He was granted income from the crown's landed property to carry on his work as a doctor in Bergen, at the time a provincial town in the kingdom of Denmark-Norway. Denmark already had 10-12 doctors in similar offices. Dr. Vilhadius was not the first physician in Norway, nor was he the first with public funding. But as the first doctor in a clearly defined office, he stands out as a strong symbol of the rudimentary health care system introduced in Denmark-Norway in the 17th century. In many ways, he represents the formation of the early modern state, and a modernization process in which the appointments of doctors mirrored the state's growing willingness and ability to assume responsibility for the health of its subjects.
2003年将迎来挪威公共卫生系统建立400周年。这一正式纪念日源于1603年维哈迪乌斯·阿达米乌斯医生（约1564 - 1616年）被任命为常任医生。当时，他被授予王室地产收入，以便在卑尔根继续行医，卑尔根当时是丹麦 - 挪威王国的一个省城。丹麦当时已经有10至12名医生担任类似职务。维哈迪乌斯医生不是挪威的第一位医生，也不是第一个获得公共资金支持的医生。但作为明确界定职务中的首位医生，他是17世纪丹麦 - 挪威引入的初级医疗保健系统的有力象征。在许多方面，他代表了早期现代国家的形成，以及一个现代化进程，在这个进程中，医生的任命反映了国家越来越愿意并能够为其臣民的健康承担责任。
