Understanding the Swedish healthcare system

Sweden offers inexpensive, heavily subsidized, and high quality public health care for everyone who lives or works in Sweden, thanks to a tax payer-funded and largely decentralized health care system.

Welcome to our event where you'll learn how to access the Swedish healthcare system, the main ways to contact healthcare services, when to use each option, and what to expect. We will cover various scenarios, including medical emergencies, booking appointments with GPs, and referrals to specialists.

Additionally, we'll briefly discuss related topics such as:

• Who is responsible for healthcare in Sweden
• Considerations when seeking healthcare for children
• Medical certificates for sick leave
• Caring for sick children

Meet Nils Lavesson, who, through his own experiences and by assisting international colleagues and friends, has learned how to navigate the Swedish healthcare system and avoid common pitfalls.

We look forward to seeing you there! Registration here.
