National screening programs

The plan requires equal and gender-equal healthcare regardless of where in the country you live and who you are, and that the state takes greater financial responsibility for equal conditions. A coordinated information initiative directed at the women who participate least in screening responds directly to this, since participation today is socially skewed. The plan also sees healthcare as part of broader public health work.

• equal and gender-equal healthcaredecisive»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equal, gender-equal, and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• state responsibility for equal conditions»staten ta ett större ekonomiskt ansvar för att ge dem goda och jämlika« (party programme ↗)“the state take greater financial responsibility to provide them with good and equal”
• public health perspective»Vården behöver ses som en del i det bredare arbetet med folkhälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare needs to be seen as part of the broader work on public health.”
• healthcare based on needs»evidens och prioriteras utifrån behov.« (party programme ↗)“evidence and prioritized based on needs.”

The party programme demands equivalent access to care throughout the country and the election manifesto wants to increase supervision and let the state guarantee care when a region does not meet its obligation. A coordinated information initiative to reach women who participate less in screening is a measure against just unequal care. The plan thus speaks for the counter-proposal's demands.

• equivalent care throughout the countrydecisive»Alla invånare i hela landet ska ha likvärdig tillgång till skola, vård och omsorg.« (party programme ↗)“All inhabitants throughout the country shall have equivalent access to school, care and health services.”
• national care guarantee»Om en region inte uppfyller vårdgarantin enligt lagen ska vård erbjudas i en annan region.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“If a region does not meet the care guarantee under the law, care shall be offered in another region.”
• strengthened supervision of care»Tillsynen av sjukvården ska växlas upp för att garantera kvaliteten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Supervision of the health service shall be increased to guarantee quality.”
• women's health and rights»Vi socialdemokrater står upp för alla kvinnors rätt att bestämma över sin egen kropp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We social democrats stand up for all women's right to decide over their own body.”

The plan states that access to healthcare is unevenly distributed and that women wait longer for important treatments, and it points to a higher degree of outreach activities as a remedy. It also wants to see a national public health programme and support the authorities in health-promoting work. A coordinated information initiative aimed at women who participate less in screening is exactly such a measure, so the plan supports the requirement.

• outreach activitiesdecisive»göras genom högre grad av uppsökande verksamhet« (party programme ↗)“be achieved through a higher degree of outreach activities”
• equal healthcare for women»socioekonomiska faktorer borde vara en självklarhet. Kvinnor får ofta vänta längre på viktiga« (party programme ↗)“socioeconomic factors should be a matter of course. Women often wait longer for important”
• national public health work»därför se ett nationellt folkhälsoprogram och stödja« (party programme ↗)“therefore see a national public health programme and support”
• unequal healthcare access»I dag är tillgången till vård ojämnt fördelad.« (party programme ↗)“Today, access to healthcare is unevenly distributed.”

The plan wants to lead Sweden towards more equal healthcare and invest especially in diseases affecting women, which bears a coordinated effort to reach women who participate less in screening. The public health perspective must also permeate society as a whole, and screening is preventive care. Keeping care responsibility with the regions speaks for information and coordination rather than national direction of when programmes start.

• equal healthcare and diseases affecting womendecisive»Kvinnor och män ska få lika bra vård. Det borde vara en självklarhet. Vi vill inrätta ett nationellt forskningsprogram om kvinnosjukdomar och stärka den genusmedicinska kompetensen i hela vårdkedjan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women and men shall get equally good care. That should be obvious. We want to establish a national research programme on diseases affecting women and strengthen gender medicine expertise throughout the care chain.”
• equal healthcare»Vi ska leda Sverige till en mer jämställd sjukvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall lead Sweden towards more equal healthcare.”
• preventive public health»Folkhälsoperspektivet måste genomsyra hela samhället för att ge resultat.« (party programme ↗)“The public health perspective must permeate all of society to produce results.”
• regional care responsibility»Ansvaret för vården ska inte flyttas från regionerna till staten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Responsibility for care should not be moved from the regions to the state.”

The plan's decisive commitment is that care shall be equitable regardless of place of residence and that expanded national coordination and governance is needed, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for a state initiative rather than relying solely on regions' own decisions. The election manifesto wants the state to take greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning. The plan also requires that knowledge about women's disease patterns is improved, which justifies a targeted information initiative on screening.

• national coordination of caredecisive»Det behövs en utökad nationell samordning och styrning. Det stärker likvärdigheten och valfriheten, förbättrar vårdmöjligheterna för sällsynta diagnoser och ökar tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård i landets glest befolkade delar.« (party programme ↗)“There is a need for expanded national coordination and governance. It strengthens equality and choice, improves care options for rare diagnoses, and increases access to healthcare in sparsely populated parts of the country.”
• greater state responsibility»Staten ska ta ett större ansvar för sjukvårdens strategiska planering, placering av högspecialiserad vård, beredskap och långsiktig kompetensförsörjning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state shall take greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning, placement of highly specialized care, preparedness, and long-term workforce supply.”
• gender-equal healthcare»Kunskapen om skillnader mellan kvinnors och mäns sjukdomsbilder måste förbättras och hbtq-kompetensen inom vården stärkas.« (party programme ↗)“Knowledge about differences between women's and men's disease patterns must be improved and LGBTQ+ competence in healthcare strengthened.”
• equitable care regardless of place of residence»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 equitable. Everyone has the right to good care regardless of background, gender, age, economy, or place of residence.”

The election manifesto establishes that where in the country you live should not determine which healthcare you receive and wants to abolish the regions' responsibility for healthcare in favor of a common national organization. To rely on each region itself deciding on screening is therefore not the plan's line; a coordinated national information initiative to reach women who participate least instead aligns with the plan's requirements for health-promoting work and equitable care.

• equitable care throughout the countrydecisive»Var i landet du bor ska inte avgöra vilken sjukvård du får.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where in the country you live should not determine which healthcare you receive.”
• national responsibility for healthcare»Avskaffa regionernas ansvar för sjukvården.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the regions' responsibility for healthcare.”
• health-promoting work»Hälsofrämjande arbete ska stimuleras.« (party programme ↗)“Health-promoting work should be stimulated.”
• broad public health responsibility»får därför inte inskränkas till hälso- och sjukvården« (party programme ↗)“can therefore not be limited to healthcare”

The plan explicitly prioritises women's diseases and earlier diagnoses, among other things through structured procedures and risk profiling, and states that cancer care shall be prioritised. A targeted information initiative to increase screening participation among women who participate least is precisely such a means for early detection. The plan furthermore requires equivalent care regardless of where in the country one lives.

• tidigare diagnoserdecisive»Förbättra möjligheterna att ställa tidigare diagnoser, bland annat med hjälp av digitala beslutsstöd och strukturerade arbetssätt med till exempel riskprofilering« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve opportunities for earlier diagnoses, among other things with the help of digital decision support and structured procedures with, for example, risk profiling”
• prioriterad cancervård»Prioritera cancervården och fördubbla stödet till barncancervården, som ska ges särskilt riktade resurser varje år« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prioritise cancer care and double support for child cancer care, which shall be given specially targeted resources every year”
• kvinnors hälsa eftersatt»Kvinnors sjukdomar har både inom forskning och i det kliniska arbetet under lång tid varit eftersatta.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women's diseases have for a long time been neglected both in research and in clinical work.”
• likvärdig vård i hela landet»Alla har rätt till likvärdig vård – som kan ges i rätt tid och håller hög kvalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone has the right to equivalent care – which can be provided at the right time and maintains high quality.”

The plan considers it to be of utmost importance that health care is uniform and good throughout the country so that regional imbalances do not arise, and wants to advocate for equal health care where women's illnesses are taken as seriously. The plan also emphasizes that poor accessibility leads to patients receiving care at a later and aggravated disease stage—precisely what screening should prevent. A coordinated effort for higher screening participation thereby aligns with the plan.

• equal care throughout the countrydecisive»anser det därför vara av yttersta vikt att det skapas en jämn och god vård över hela landet så att inte regionala obalanser uppstår« (party programme ↗)“therefore considers it to be of utmost importance that uniform and good care is created throughout the country so that regional imbalances do not arise”

• national management of health care»Sverigedemokraterna vill också se över hur staten i större utsträckning kan ta över huvudansvaret för sjukvården« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Sweden Democrats also want to review how the state can to a greater extent take over primary responsibility for health care”
