The head of the health center: "Every patient needs to have a personal relationship with their doctor"

Borgholm on Öland is highlighted as a positive example in primary care.

In a few years, they have gone from two to fourteen full-time doctors, and that by setting a ceiling on 1,000 listed patients.

- You should always see the same doctor in primary care, says Åke Åkesson.

Want to see 10,000 general practitioners in Sweden

According to Åke Åkesson, Sweden needs to have a total of ten thousand general practitioners in primary care in order for all residents to have a permanent doctor.

And to get there, it is required, among other things, that more new graduates choose to specialize in general medicine.

- We strengthen primary care by ensuring that enough people work in it so that those who are there can do a good job.
