ICE - In Case of Emergency

If anything would happen to you during your exchange, if you become seriously hurt and cannot speak, it is advisable to add ICE contacts in your mobile phone. ICE is an internationally recognized concept, where medical staff quickly can get in touch with your relatives.

Remember to add the prefix "+" instead of "00" (which only works in Europe). Sweden's country code is 46. For instance, if you want your sister in Sweden to be your ICE contact, add her as "ICE Sister +4670123456". You can have more than one ICE contact.
