Area of Science:

  • Health Policy
  • International Migration
  • Healthcare Systems

Background:

  • Sweden, an early EU adopter of professional free movement, has attracted many Spanish healthcare workers since 2000.
  • The Swedish national health system links healthcare rights to legal citizenship, funded by regional taxes with mandatory co-payments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the Swedish healthcare system's structure and accessibility for internationally trained professionals.
  • To compare key aspects of Swedish primary and specialized care with the Spanish model.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of healthcare system structures.
  • Review of healthcare financing, provision, and professional roles in Sweden.

Main Results:

  • Sweden's decentralized healthcare system involves regional tax financing and co-payments, with a mix of public and private providers.
  • Similar to Spain, the Swedish system faces challenges with waiting lists and inter-professional coordination.
  • General practitioners act as access points but not gatekeepers; specialist referrals are required for diagnostics and specialized care.

Conclusions:

  • The Swedish healthcare model presents both opportunities and challenges for foreign professionals, mirroring some issues found in Spain.
  • Understanding system similarities and differences is crucial for effective integration of international healthcare professionals.
