On Thursday, it was emphasized that there will also be no opening of emergency surgery in Sollefteå - a decision that provided lighter fluid for today's manifestation.

Barbro Mikaelsson has been active in the BB occupation for a long time and says that they have not tired yet. At 2 pm, the protest march begins against the centralization of health care which has hit the region's population hard.

- We've even got young guys protesting that their girlfriends will have to go long distances to give birth, she says.

Pressed personnel

According to the Ideella association Sollefteå BB occupation, centralization has led to declining costs and increasing pressure on staff. Following the cuts at Sollefteå Hospital, Barbro Mikaelsson believes that the people of Sollefteå are living under the threat of not being able to receive care on time.

The journalist and writer Lisa Bjurwald is invited to speak at the event. She is up to date with her book BB crisis Sveket at the beginning of life, where she examines today's Swedish childbirth care.
