In common with many other western European countries, Sweden has an advanced
publicly funded healthcare system. There is an eagerness to be at the
forefront of technological development and the purchasing of new equipment
reflects this. Healthcare provision remains a high governmental priority in
Sweden, but with a large ageing population, cost containment continues to be
of paramount importance.
The major end-users of medical equipment and supplies in Sweden are county
councils and municipal healthcare authorities. These organisations handle
their own purchasing through their own procurement authorities, which is
adequately served by many distributors.
The regulations governing the authorisation and marketing of medical devices
are in line with the European Union, although marketing practices are tightly
regulated.
