Publicly financed comprehensive healthcare systems guarantee access to high-quality healthcare at minimal or no direct cost to patients in the Nordic region. The three key elements of healthcare policy are access, treatment, and public health. There is an overall structure and operation despite the differences in tackling the previously-mentioned elements in the region. The WHO and other studies rate Nordic countries high, and they have the best health statistics in the world.

Life sciences – enabling today's and tomorrow's healthcare solutions
In the last half a century, important developments in healthcare have taken place. Sweden's dedication to the health of its citizens is evident, as the country has long focused on investment into frontline medical research and innovation, while simultaneously giving all citizens affordable access to high-quality healthcare.
But what makes Sweden's life sciences story successful, both historically and as we look towards the future? What are the mutual global challenges? Through strong public-private investment in health care and R&D, access to data and open collaboration for common solutions, we are ready to take on tomorrow's challenges.
