Accepted answer

Unfortunately, there is no single number in Iceland like the NHS 111.

Both the numbers 1770 and 1700 are in use but I think the 1170 number is incorrect.

The number 1700 is supposed to be a country wide telephone service for health related questions. I'm unable to find any specific website for it but many health centers outside the greater Reykjavik area refer to it as an off-hour contact number for non-emergencies.

1770 is the number of an off-hour medical clinic - Læknavaktin, located in the Reykjavik area. Their telephone service is open 17-8 weekdays and all day weekends and holidays. Website: http://laeknavaktin.is/ (only in Icelandic). If you are in the Reykjavik area and you need medical advice outside of normal hours you should probably use that number.
