They are a link between different stakeholders in the health care area contributing to the process from an innovative idea to a market ready solution or product.

The first European conference on medical equipment in low-income countries was held in Chamonix in 2013. Eventually this evolved into a group with representatives from a few chosen countries and organizations dedicated to take these questions to a higher level.

What you measure is what you get

Sweden has the best health care in the world. A well-known statement, but is it really true? Yes and no according to a newly published report ”Why compare when we know that we are best?” by Forum for Health policy.

There is no doubt that Sweden does rank high internationally. Quality, low costs, unique registries are just a few of many areas where the country gets the highest scores. But other comparisons also highlight the main challenges; the access to good health care depends on where you live, the flaws in service level and patient safety.

Patients with multiple cronic conditions need care frequently. But there is often no need for the patients to be hospitalized. So, how can the care be adapted in the best way possible taking these wishes into account?

The government has previously stated that healthcare export should be encouraged. That combined with the fact that the demand for highly specialized care is increasing around the world should be the recipe for making things moving. But even if Swedish health care ranks high internationally, the country has a very limited share of the total market. So, does Sweden dare to invest in the world’s fastest growing export market?
