- The reason is to create another choice for the residents of Eskilstuna. We have also had the mission to start at the forefront when it comes to the development of care, says Irene Bävman Fjäll, Head of Operations.

The patient knows best

Namely, there is a "dialogue lab" at the new health center. There, both patients and other citizens should be given opinions, tips or thoughts on how care can be improved.

- The patient knows best about their needs and what they want help with. Some times we have been poor at listening to the patient. We want to find ways of supporting the caregiver to do so, says Irene Bävman Fjäll.

Great need of

Camilla Holmgren (S) is the chair of the primary care committee and according to her the need for health centers is great in the municipality.

- Eskilstuna as a municipality is growing very fast and we need to increase the number of health centers. It is mainly our central health centers that list a large number of patients, and this is where the pressure is greatest, says Camilla Holmgren (S).
