Swedish Healthcare System
The Swedish Healthcare System is a publicly funded system that provides comprehensive medical services to all residents. It is primarily financed through taxes, ensuring that healthcare is accessible regardless of an individual's financial situation. The system emphasizes preventive care and primary healthcare, with a strong focus on patient-centered services.
In Sweden, healthcare is organized at the regional level, with 21 counties responsible for delivering services. Each county manages hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities, ensuring that residents receive timely and effective care. The system also promotes collaboration among healthcare providers to enhance the quality of services offered.
