Sweden: Health System Review.

The Health Systems in Transition (‎HiT)‎ country reports provide an analytical description of each health system and of reform initiatives in progress or under development. They aim to provide relevant comparative information to support policy-makers and analysts in the development of health systems and reforms in the countries of the WHO European Region and beyond. The HiTs are building blocks that can be used: to learn in detail about different approaches to the financing, organization and delivery of health services; to describe accurately the process, content and implementation of health reform programmes; to highlight common challenges and areas that require more in-depth analysis; and to provide a tool for the dissemination of information on health systems and the exchange of experiences of reform strategies between policy-makers and analysts in countries of the WHO European Region. This analysis of the Swedish health system reviews recent developments in organization and governance, health financing, health care provision, health reforms and health system performance. This series is an ongoing initiative and material is updated at regular intervals.
