Strategy for cardiovascular health

The plan demands that the state takes greater responsibility for creating equal conditions so that care is equitable, and that care is provided according to need rather than according to system design. A national strategy whose stated purpose is to counteract unequal care between regions for the country's most common cause of death follows from that commitment. The plan does not, however, take a position on strategies for specific disease groups.

• state responsibility for equitable caredecisive»Lösningen är inte att förstatliga sjukvården men för att säkerställa en jämlik vård i Sverige måste staten ta ett större ansvar för att skapa lika förutsättningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The solution is not to nationalize healthcare but to ensure equitable care in Sweden the state must take greater responsibility for creating equal conditions.”
• care according to need»Vård måste ges efter människors behov och inte efter kapaciteten i felaktigt konstruerade system.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Care must be provided according to people's needs and not according to the capacity of incorrectly designed systems.”
• evidence-based need prioritization»Sjukvården ska vara heltäckande, bygga på evidens och prioriteras utifrån behov.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare shall be comprehensive, based on evidence and prioritized according to need.”
• state overall responsibility»Staten har också ett övergripande ansvar för att det finns utbildad profession i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“The state also has an overarching responsibility for there to be trained professionals throughout the country.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires increased state responsibility and control over healthcare precisely for national equity, which is the problem the counter-proposal wants to solve with a national cardiovascular strategy. The goals of equal public health and equal right to good care through public provision point in the same direction. The plan also wants to see healthcare at the technical and medical frontier, which the strategy's research and innovation component answers to.

• state governance for equitydecisive»Ökat statligt ansvar och kontroll över sjukvården för nationell likvärdighet.« (party programme ↗)“Increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equity.”
• equal public health»Jämlik och jämställd folkhälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Equal and equitable public health.”
• equal right to good care»Lika rätt för alla till god hälso- och sjukvård genom samhällets försorg.« (party programme ↗)“Equal right for all to good health and medical care through public provision.”
• care at the medical frontier»Sjukvård i teknisk och medicinsk framkant.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare at the technical and medical frontier.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wishes healthcare to contribute to health and not just treat disease, and that health inequalities decrease so that healthcare is not determined by place of residence. A national strategy that links prevention, early detection in primary care and specialized care meets both these commitments. The plan does not mention cardiovascular disease in particular, so the support is inferred.

• health-promoting and preventive caredecisive»Miljöpartiet vill att vården ska bidra till hälsa, inte bara behandla sjukdom.« (party programme ↗)“The Greens wish healthcare to contribute to health, not just treat disease.”
• equal healthcare between regions»inte längre avgörs av storleken på plånboken eller var man bor.« (party programme ↗)“no longer determined by wallet size or where one lives.”
• early detection in primary care»Primärvården ska vara navet i en nära och förebyggande vård« (party programme ↗)“Primary care shall be the hub in a close and preventive care”
• shorter healthcare queues throughout the country»korta köerna till behandling i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“shorten waiting times for treatment throughout the country.”

The plan wants to shorten queues and strengthen equality in healthcare throughout the country and itself favours national programmes in healthcare, for example a national research programme on women's diseases. The party programme makes preventive public health work a cornerstone of sustainable welfare. A national strategy against unequal cardiovascular healthcare with preventive interventions and early detection aligns with this.

• equal healthcare throughout the countrydecisive»Så kortar vi köerna och stärker likvärdigheten i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“So we shorten queues and strengthen equality throughout the country.”
• national healthcare programmes»Vi vill inrätta ett nationellt forskningsprogram om kvinnosjukdomar och stärka den genusmedicinska kompetensen i hela vårdkedjan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to establish a national research programme on women's diseases and strengthen gender medicine expertise throughout the healthcare chain.”
• preventive public health work»Folkhälsoperspektivet måste genomsyra hela samhället för att ge resultat.« (party programme ↗)“The public health perspective must permeate the whole society to produce results.”

The party programme requires increased national coordination and management of healthcare and that care shall be equal regardless of place of residence, which is exactly the regional inequality the counter-proposal wants to address. The election manifesto also shows that the plan accepts national programmes directed at particular risk groups, such as in dental care. A national cardiovascular strategy with preventive measures is thus in line with the plan's direction.

• increased national managementdecisive»Det behövs en utökad nationell samordning och styrning.« (party programme ↗)“Increased national coordination and management is needed.”
• equal care regardless of place»Vården ska vara jämlik. Var och en har rätt till god vård och omsorg oavsett bakgrund, kön, ålder, ekonomi eller bostadsort.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equal. Everyone has the right to good care and support regardless of background, sex, age, economy or place of residence.”
• national programmes for risk groups»Nästa steg är gradvis ökande subventionsgrad för de grupper som har sämst munhälsa och nationella tandvårdsprogram för särskilda riskgrupper.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The next step is gradually increasing subsidization for groups with poorest oral health and national dental care programmes for particular risk groups.”
• preventive public health work»Hälso- och sjukvården ska erbjuda stöd för förändringar av levnadsvanor.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare shall offer support for changes in lifestyle.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto's central health care promise is that where in the country you live should not determine what care you receive, and that the regions' responsibility should be abolished in favor of a joint national organization. A national strategy against unequal heart and vascular care is consistent with the national governance the plan seeks. However, the plan's requirement for needs-based prioritization argues against singling out a single disease group.

• vård oberoende av bostadsortdecisive»Var i landet du bor ska inte avgöra vilken sjukvård du får.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where in the country you live should not determine what health care you receive.”
• nationell styrning av vården»Avskaffa regionernas ansvar för sjukvården. Låt staten ta över ansvaret för vården med en gemensam organisation i stället för 21 olika.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the regions' responsibility for health care. Let the state take over responsibility for health care with a joint organization instead of 21 different ones.”
• jämlik vård»Vården ska vara jämlik och tillgänglig för hela befolkningen.« (party programme ↗)“Health care should be equal and accessible to the entire population.”
• behovsstyrd prioritering»En efterfrågestyrd hälso- och sjukvård bryter mot principen om alla människors« (party programme ↗)“Demand-driven health and medical care contradicts the principle of all human”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan itself uses national strategies and targeted investments as tools in care and points out large regional differences in quality and waiting times as a problem. A national heart and circulatory disease strategy against unequal care aligns with this, even though the plan prioritises cancer care and child psychiatry and does not mention heart and circulatory disease. The support therefore rests on inference, not on an explicit commitment.

• national strategies as toolsdecisive»Ta fram en nationell strategi mot självmord, med särskilt fokus på barn och unga« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Produce a national strategy against suicide, with particular focus on children and young people”
• reduce regional differences»Det finns också stora regionala skillnader i kvalitet och väntetider.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There are also large regional differences in quality and waiting times.”
• equal care»Alla har rätt till likvärdig vård – som kan ges i rätt tid och håller hög kvalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone has the right to equal care - which can be provided in good time and maintains high quality.”
• early detection and prevention»Förbättra möjligheterna att ställa tidigare diagnoser, bland annat med hjälp av digitala beslutsstöd och strukturerade arbetssätt med till exempel riskprofilering« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve the opportunities to make earlier diagnoses, among other things with the help of digital decision support and structured working methods with for example risk profiling”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants to review how the state can take greater responsibility for healthcare precisely to avoid healthcare varying between regions, and itself uses national strategies as a tool in the public health field. The counter-proposal's demand for a national cardiovascular strategy against unequal healthcare aligns with that governance ambition and with the requirement for shorter queues and earlier treatment.
