National screening programs

The plan requires that healthcare be equitable and accessible regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are, that care be provided based on need and that the state take greater responsibility for equal conditions. The party programme does not tolerate discrimination based on age. That the state actively works for equitable mammography screening even for women over 74 years old follows from these commitments.

• equitable healthcaredecisive»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.”
• no age discrimination»kön, funktionsnedsättning, sexuell läggning eller könsidentitet, ålder,« (party programme ↗)“sex, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, age,”
• care based on need»Vård måste ges efter människors behov och inte efter kapaciteten i felaktigt konstruerade system.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Care must be provided based on people's needs and not based on capacity in incorrectly constructed systems.”
• 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.”

The plan's guiding principle is that welfare services are distributed according to need and that all residents throughout the country shall have equal access to healthcare. That the state actively works for mammography screening even for women over 74 follows from this and from the plan's stated goal that no one should need to worry about receiving timely care. The plan also sees age as one of the structures that must not determine people's living conditions. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

• care according to needdecisive»välfärdstjänsterna fördelas efter behov.« (party programme ↗)“welfare services are distributed according to need.”
• equal healthcare access across the country»Alla invånare i hela landet ska ha likvärdig tillgång till skola, vård och omsorg.« (party programme ↗)“All residents throughout the country shall have equal access to school, healthcare and care.”
• timely care»Ingen ska behöva känna oro över att få vård i tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one should need to worry about receiving timely care.”
• age should not limit»bestämd av klass, kön eller etnicitet, av funktionsförmåga eller ålder, av sexuell läggning« (party programme ↗)“determined by class, gender or ethnicity, by functional capacity or age, by sexual orientation”

The plan requires healthcare on equal terms regardless of where one lives and observes that women often have to wait longer and have worse access to expensive treatments. Together with the principle of equal rights regardless of age this argues that the state works for equitable mammography screening also for women over 74 years. Screening programs' design is not explicitly addressed in the plan.

• women disadvantaged in healthcaredecisive»Kvinnor får ofta vänta längre på viktiga« (party programme ↗)“Women often have to wait longer for important”
• healthcare on equal terms»Du ska ha rätt till en bra vård, oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You shall have the right to good healthcare, regardless of where in the country you live.”
• equal rights regardless of age»Alla ska åtnjuta lika rättigheter och möjligheter« (party programme ↗)“All shall enjoy equal rights and opportunities”
• better healthcare for the elderly»förbättra vård och omsorg för äldre och stärka resurserna till hemsjukvården.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“improve healthcare and care for the elderly and strengthen resources for home healthcare.”

The election manifesto requires that women and men receive equally good care and efforts for women's health, and the party programme states that no one shall be discriminated against on the basis of age and that all shall be secure with equivalent care. Working for equitable mammography screening also for women over 74 years follows from these commitments. The plan at the same time values the regions' main authority, which makes support for the commitment to equality rather than for state detailed control.

• equal caredecisive»Kvinnor och män ska få lika bra vård. Det borde vara en självklarhet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women and men shall receive equally good care. It should be self-evident.”
• no age discrimination»Det har ingen betydelse på vilken grund detta sker; kön, ålder, sexuell läggning« (party programme ↗)“It is of no importance on what basis this occurs; gender, age, sexual orientation”
• equivalent care»alla ska vara trygga med att få en likvärdig vård« (party programme ↗)“all shall be secure with equivalent care”
• regional main authority»Ansvaret för vården ska inte flyttas från regionerna till staten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Responsibility for care shall not be moved from the regions to the state.”

The plan requires that all tendencies toward age discrimination be combated and that care be equitable regardless of age, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for equitable mammography screening also for women over 74. The plan furthermore wishes to see expanded national coordination and greater state responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning, which gives the state a role in the matter. Screening programmes are not explicitly mentioned, but the principle of age-neutral care is unambiguous.

• against age discriminationdecisive»Äldres rätt till självbestämmande ska hävdas och alla tendenser till åldersfördomar bekämpas.« (party programme ↗)“Older people's right to self-determination shall be asserted and all tendencies toward age discrimination be combated.”
• equitable care»Vården ska vara jämlik.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equitable.”
• national coordination of care»Det behövs en utökad nationell samordning och styrning.« (party programme ↗)“Expanded national coordination and direction is needed.”
• greater state responsibility in 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 specialized care, preparedness and long-term skills supply.”

The plan explicitly requires a society where people can age in security and dignity without age discrimination, and that where in the country you live shall not determine what healthcare you receive. Care shall be need-based and equitable, with care and dignity guarantees grounded in ethical priorities. That the state actively works for equitable mammography screening even for women over 74 years old follows from these commitments.

• no age discriminationdecisive»Vi vill bygga ett samhälle där människor kan åldras i trygghet och värdighet utan åldersdiskriminering.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to build a society where people can age in security and dignity without age discrimination.”
• need-based care»Den solidariskt finansierade hälso- och sjukvården är välfärdens kärna och ska vara behovsstyrd.« (party programme ↗)“The jointly financed health and medical care is the core of welfare and shall be need-based.”
• equitable care across the country»Var i landet du bor ska inte avgöra vilken sjukvård du får.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where in the country you live shall not determine what healthcare you receive.”
• care and dignity guarantees»Vård- och värdighetsgarantier, som grundar sig på etiska prioriteringar, ska finnas.« (party programme ↗)“Care and dignity guarantees, which are grounded in ethical priorities, shall exist.”

The plan establishes that everyone has the right to equivalent care delivered in time, and particularly points out that fewer than half of women with breast cancer receive care in time. Cancer care shall be prioritized and earlier diagnoses facilitated. The counter-proposal's demand for equal mammography screening even for women over 74 is in line with these commitments, although the screening age limits are not mentioned explicitly.

• equivalent care for alldecisive»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 - that can be delivered in time and maintains high quality.”
• shortcomings in breast cancer care»Färre än hälften av alla kvinnor med bröstcancer får vård i tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Fewer than half of all women with breast cancer receive care in time.”
• earlier diagnoses»Förbättra möjligheterna att ställa tidigare diagnoser, bland annat med hjälp av digitala beslutsstöd och strukturerade arbetssätt med till exempel riskprofilering« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve opportunities to make earlier diagnoses, among other things with the help of digital decision support and structured working methods such as risk profiling”
• prioritized cancer care»Prioritera cancervården och fördubbla stödet till barncancervården, som ska ges särskilt riktade resurser varje år« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prioritize cancer care and double support for childhood cancer care, which shall receive specially targeted resources every year”

The election manifesto wants to see equal care where men and women are treated equally and states that society has a responsibility for all citizens to age with dignity. The party programme requires that care is provided according to need and that all are treated equitably in regional operations. The counter-proposal's requirement for equitable mammography screening also for women over 74 years, to counteract age discrimination, follows from these commitments.
