The Icelandic Minister of Health announced the establishment of a specialized trauma reception center named Bryndísarhlíð at the Landspitali hospital, specifically designed to support victims of violence and trauma. The initiative is backed by the Bryndís Klara memorial fund, which has already raised 120 million Icelandic krona for the project, aiming for a total contribution of 200 million krona.

The Bryndísarhlíð center seeks to provide comprehensive services for individuals who have experienced violence or trauma, marking a significant step in enhancing the healthcare response to such cases in Iceland. Construction is set to be completed within one year, and efforts have already commenced thanks to the funding secured from the memorial fund, ensuring timely support for those in need.

This initiative reflects the importance of addressing trauma in healthcare and highlights the role of community funding in facilitating essential medical services. By naming the center after Bryndís Klara, the project also aims to honor her memory and contribute to the broader societal conversation about violence and support for victims.
