Rare health conditions

The plan requires equitable and accessible healthcare regardless of where in the country you live and that care be comprehensive and prioritized based on need. A national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses targets precisely the regional differences the plan wants to eliminate. The requirement for national coordination regarding medicine supply and pricing aligns closely with the plan's requirement for state responsibility for medicines.

• equitable care throughout the countrydecisive»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equitable, gender-equal and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• state responsibility for equivalence»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.”
• comprehensive care based on need»Sjukvården ska vara heltäckande, bygga på evidens och prioriteras utifrån behov.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare should be comprehensive, based on evidence and prioritized based on need.”
• state responsibility for medicines»Vi vill att staten äger apoteken och bygger upp en egen kapacitet för läkemedelsproduktion.« (party programme ↗)“We want the state to own the pharmacies and build up its own capacity for pharmaceutical production.”

The party programme demands increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equality and access to medicines throughout the country. The counter-proposal's national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses, with reduced regional differences and national coordination on pricing, is precisely such a measure. The principle of equal right to good care according to need strengthens the conclusion.

• national equality in caredecisive»Ökat statligt ansvar och kontroll över sjukvården för nationell likvärdighet.« (party programme ↗)“Increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equality.”
• medicine access throughout the country»Tillgång till medicin, vaccin och andra läkemedel i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“Access to medicine, vaccines and other medicines throughout the country.”
• care according to need»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 forefront»Sjukvård i teknisk och medicinsk framkant.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare at the technical and medical forefront.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to improve support for people with disabilities and rare diagnoses regardless of where in the country you live. The counter-proposal's demand for a national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses aims precisely to reduce regional differences. The plan also establishes that those with greatest need should be prioritized and points out shortcomings in accessibility and holistic approach for chronically ill.

• support for rare diagnosesdecisive»förbättra stödet för personer med funktionsnedsättning och sällsynta diagnoser oavsett var du bor i landet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“improve support for people with disabilities and rare diagnoses regardless of where you live in the country”
• care according to need»Människor med störst behov ska prioriteras.« (party programme ↗)“People with greatest need should be prioritized.”
• shortcomings in healthcare's holistic approach»brister det i tillgänglighet, kontinuitet och helhetssyn - särskilt för äldre, kroniskt sjuka« (party programme ↗)“there are shortcomings in accessibility, continuity and holistic approach - especially for elderly, chronically ill”
• equitable care throughout the country»korta köerna till behandling i hela landet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“shorten queues for treatment throughout the country”

The plan wants to shorten queues and strengthen equivalence in care throughout the country and proposes itself national programmes in the care sector, such as a national research programme on women's diseases. The party programme states that conditions may look different but that all shall be secure in getting equivalent care. A national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses reducing regional differences aligns with this.

• national care programmesdecisive»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 gendered medicine expertise throughout the care chain.”
• equivalent care»Sjukvården bör ta hänsyn till att människor är olika och att förutsättningarna ser olika ut i olika delar av landet, men alla ska vara trygga med att få en likvärdig vård.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare should account for the fact that people are different and conditions look different in different parts of the country, but all shall be secure in getting equivalent care.”
• reduced regional differences»Så kortar vi köerna och stärker likvärdigheten i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“This is how we shorten queues and strengthen equivalence 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 explicitly points out that increased national coordination and management improves healthcare options for rare diagnoses, and that the state should take greater responsibility for the placement of highly specialised care. A national strategy and a coordination function for rare diagnoses is precisely the arrangement the plan seeks. The requirement for equitable care throughout the country and access to modern medicines point the same way.

• coordination for rare diagnosesdecisive»vårdmöjligheterna för sällsynta diagnoser och ökar tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård i landets« (party programme ↗)“healthcare options for rare diagnoses and increases access to healthcare in the country's”
• state responsibility for specialist care»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 specialised care, preparedness and long-term skills supply.”
• equitable care»Vården ska vara jämlik.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equitable.”
• access to modern medicines»kroniska sjukdomar ska ha tillgång till medicin och medicinsk-tekniska behandlingar som är« (party programme ↗)“chronic diseases should have access to medicine and medical-technical treatments that are”

The plan requires fair and accessible healthcare for the entire population and that even people who have difficulty exercising their choice receive good care, and the election manifesto wants to match healthcare needs against capacity across the country through a national healthcare brokerage. A national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses responds to this. The plan also wants approved medicines to be covered by a solidaristically financed system.

• fair healthcaredecisive»Vården ska vara jämlik och tillgänglig för hela befolkningen.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare shall be fair and accessible for the entire population.”
• national healthcare brokerage»Inför en nationell vårdförmedling som matchar vårdbehovet med den vårdkapacitet som finns i hela landet – och inte bara i regionen där personen bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a national healthcare brokerage that matches healthcare needs with the healthcare capacity that exists throughout the country - not just in the region where the person lives.”
• solidaristically financed medicines»särskilt godkännande omfattas av ett solidariskt finansierat system.« (party programme ↗)“special approval is covered by a solidaristically financed system.”
• state leadership of healthcare»Avskaffa regionernas ansvar för sjukvården.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the regions' responsibility for healthcare.”

The plan uses national strategies and national coordination as tools when healthcare falls short and points to major regional differences in quality and waiting times. A national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses aims at exactly this and at equitable care regardless of where one lives. The plan does not, however, mention rare diagnoses, so the support is derived.

• reduce regional differencesdecisive»Det finns också stora regionala skillnader i kvalitet och väntetider.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There are also large regional differences in quality and waiting times.”
• equitable welfare across the country»Du ska kunna känna dig trygg med att välfärden fungerar oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You should be able to feel secure that welfare works regardless of where in the country you live.”
• national coordination of care»Inrätta en nationell vårdförmedling som ska hjälpa patienter med lång väntetid att få vård i en annan del av landet där det finns ledig kapacitet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a national care referral service that should help patients with long waiting times to receive care in another part of the country where there is spare capacity”
• national strategies as tools»Ta fram en nationell strategi mot självmord, med särskilt fokus på barn och unga« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Develop a national strategy against suicide, with particular focus on children and young people”

The plan means that steering via 21 regions creates opacity and unequal care and wants to see a new unified healthcare system where the state takes greater overall responsibility. A national strategy and coordination function for rare diagnoses, which reduces regional differences, aligns with that position. The plan also uses national strategies as a tool in the healthcare area itself.

• state overall responsibility for caredecisive»Sverigedemokraterna vill också se över hur staten i större utsträckning kan ta över huvudansvaret för sjukvården, med utgångspunkt i framgångsrika exempel i Norge och Danmark.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats also want to review how the state to a greater extent can take overall responsibility for healthcare, based on successful examples in Norway and Denmark.”
• regional steering creates unequal care»Huvudproblemet handlar i betydande utsträckning om att styrningen via 21 olika regioner skapar otydlighet, målkonflikter, successivt ökande administration och brister i kompetensförsörjningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The main problem is largely that steering via 21 different regions creates opacity, conflicting objectives, progressively increasing administration and shortfalls in workforce supply.”
• unified healthcare»För att åstadkomma det krävs en ny sammanhållen sjukvård i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To achieve this requires a new unified healthcare system in Sweden.”
• national strategies as tool»Ta fram en nationell strategi för det fortsatta arbetet med psykisk hälsa« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Develop a national strategy for continued work on mental health”
