Healthcare Roadshow | Scandinavia

From 28 May – 1 June, Task Force Health Care (TFHC), in cooperation with the Netherlands Embassies in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, the Holland Innovation Network in Sweden and the Regional Economic Envoy for the Nordic and Baltic countries on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organises a healthcare roadshow to Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. This visit is a follow-up of the healthcare studies which were launched last year.

Opportunities in Scandinavia

Sweden (28 – 29 May): has the lowest number of hospital beds with 2.7 beds per 100.000 people. This highlights Sweden’s emphasis on quickly transitioning people from hospital care to home care or rehabilitation. Dutch innovative solutions could enhance these transitions.

Norway (30 May): is ever more dependent on telemedicine solutions to contain costs and provide quality care due to its disperse population. Like Sweden, the vast landscape caters to opportunities for Dutch proven eHealth concepts, assistive aids, etc.
