Equality in Health Care
Your right to healthcare is regulated in The Health and Medical Care Act.
• The goal of the Health and Medical Services is to provide good quality healthcare on equal terms for everyone.
• Healthcare shall maintain a high level of quality and be easily accessible.
• Healthcare should be based upon respect for the patient´s right to selfdetermination and integrity.
• Healthcare shall be administered in consultationwith you, the patient, as far as possible.
• Those with the greatest need of health and medical services shall be given priority to medical attention. (HsL 2§).
Freedom of choice- the opportunity to choose healthcare troughout Sweden
Freedom of choice in healthcare allows you to seek care at doctor´s offices or hospitals outside of the county. This applies to healthcare provided by the County Council and private healthcare centers that are financed by public funds.
(1:2)
Freedom of choice• You can seek healthcare in Skåne, Västra
Götaland, Blekinge, Kronoberg och Jönköpings counties on the same terms as those who reside there.
• You can also seek care at any healthcare center, private doctor´s office (financed by public funds) or hospital throughout Sweden. Certain County Councils only accept patients from other counties when time and resources allow it. (In the case of more costly treatment, it must first be approved by the County Council Public Health Board´s office.)
• For highly specialized treatment at a regional hospital or a university hospital, a referral from the treating doctor at a hospital in Halland is always required.
• You pay for your own travel costs.

The Healthcare Guarantee (1:3)
It is the ambition of the County Council to provide care as speedily as possible and has therefore decided to establish a Healthcare and Treatment Guarantee.
The guarantee applies to healthcare provided by the County Council and private healthcare centers that are financed by public funds.
The Healthcare Guarantee (2:3)

personnel the same day that you seek treatment, for example via the County Council´s Medical Care Telephone Help-line (Tel. 1177) or healthcare center.
Appointments to healthcare centers or private doctor´s offices
• You will be offered an appointment at a healthcare center or a private generel practitioner within seven days. If your illness is deemed to be acute, you will receive an appointment the same day.

When the County Council cannot live up to the Healthcare Guarantee
• Sometimes the County Council cannot provide healthcare within the time period stipulated by the Healthcare Guarantee. You then have the opportunity to seek treatment at another doctor´s office/hospital in Sweden.
• In that case the County Council will pay for your treatment and travel costs.
• You pay the patient´s fee as usual in accordance with the rules that apply where the treatment is given.
• Should you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, contact the Healthcare Guarantee service ”Vårdgarantiservice” at Tel. 0771 – 900 600 or via e-mail [email protected]
