"Being forced to wait for care is bad in many ways. It clearly creates unnecessary suffering," says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson at a press conference.
The healthcare guarantee will be cut from the current 90 days to 30 days.
We see that it works well in Denmark and also in other countries that have much shorter times than Sweden. And this is about a focus on the patient - that you should not have to wait, says the party's healthcare policy spokesperson Camilla Waltersson Grönvall.
She says the party is prepared to provide the resources needed.
But it is very much about the regions needing to support and help their patients to a greater extent.
If the patient does not receive care in time, the region should actively help them get care elsewhere in the country and cover the cost. Today, it doesn't work, according to her.
We are therefore tightening the requirement for the home region to be involved from the outset and be able to guide the patient to where there is available capacity and other care in the country, says Waltersson Grönvall.
The third promise is about building on the so-called national healthcare agency.
In the short term, patients themselves will be able to seek care throughout the country, says Kristersson.
