"We will build on the care that already exists and strengthen the ability to take care of many injured, while the ordinary healthcare needs to continue functioning," says Björn Eriksson, Director General of the National Board of Health and Welfare, in a press release. "Sweden looks different, and the needs in times of war will also differ. Therefore, we are not seeking a single solution. Together with the regions, we need to find out what capabilities are required and how they can be developed where they are needed," says Björn Eriksson. #beredskapssjukhus #krisberedskap #Sverige (translated)

In northern Sweden, distances are long, the climate is demanding, and medical transports can be difficult. Therefore, several existing hospitals and care units need to be able to collaborate to take care of the injured in war, says Björn Eriksson, director general of the National Board of Health and Welfare. #Beredskapssjukhus #SvenskSjukvård #Socialstyrelsen (translated)
