Aasiaat

Aasiaat is located in the Disko Region in Northwest Greenland. The healthcare system consists of the hospital in Aasiaat, the health centers in Qasigiannguit and Qeqertarsuaq, the nursing station in Kangaatsiaq, and village health clinics in the 8 villages. In the town of Aasiaat, there are about 3000 inhabitants, about 1000 inhabitants in the surrounding area, and approximately 7000 inhabitants in the entire region.

Region Disko is located north of the Arctic Circle, which means we have both midnight sun in the summer and polar night in the winter. The area has been inhabited for many generations, which is evident from the fine traces around the region. The nature is characterized by the sea, the archipelago, the mountains, the sea ice, and the icebergs. There are good opportunities to visit the other larger towns in the region.
