Niki Shams, board member of Läkarförbudet and chairman of its student organization, reacts strongly to the review which shows that care providers allow patients to choose doctors based on ethnicity.
- It is terrible that caregivers let this happen, that they systematize and let patients choose freely among different ethnicities on doctors, she says.
"Employer's responsibility"
Niki Shams believes that all care providers should have routines for what to say when such demands are made.
- It is clearly the employer's responsibility, she says.
Sweden's municipalities and regions, SKR, have declined to comment on the review.
"We refer to the respective employers, who are responsible for their staff and how they handle such situations," SKR writes to SVT.
