| Résumé : |
Sweden’s tax-based health system covers almost everyone who lives or works in Sweden. The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, with support from national government agencies, is responsible for overall health care policy and high-level oversight. The main responsibility for financing, organizing and providing health care is delegated to the 21 regions while the 290 municipalities are responsible for financing, organizing and providing health care in ordinary and special housing for elderly people and people with functional impairments, and health care in schools. Current health expenditure per capita in Sweden (US$ PPP 6347) in 2020 was well above the EU average, representing 11.4% of GDP. Public expenditure on health was 86% of total health expenditure in 2020, well above the EU average for that year (75%).
Improving availability of services has been an explicit policy goal with efforts including the introduction of privatization and choice in primary care and selected areas of specialist care. Since 2012, reforms have mainly focused on improving waiting times, continuity and coordination of care, and overall health system efficiency. Several reform efforts have been directed at strengthening the primary care sector. Reform themes in specialist care concentrate on the implementation of evidence-based and standardized care processes and further concentration of services both at national and regional levels. Future developments are likely to include continued discussion on a more decisive role for the national government. |
