Training and Q&A session: Public procurement system of health care services in Sweden

Team Finland House, Helsinki

Organiser: Business Finland

Due to the impact of COVID-19, many planned visits and operations had to be postponed in Sweden, creating a pent-up need for care. Particular unmet needs are in:

  • Surgery
  • Specialized care
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Historically, health care services abroad for Swedish patients have been limited to small volumes of mainly cancer patients and neonatal patients to Finland. The possibility to provide health care services in the Swedish language is an added value that Finnish health care service providers have compared to competitors.

Join the training and Q&A session, organised by Business Finland, on November 29 and learn more about public procurement regulation and processes related to offering health care services to Sweden.
