Vision:
Health Care and Social Care services should be personcentred, efficient and innovativ for everyone.
Forum for Health Policy (Forum) is a Swedish think tank. Forum serves as a neutral platform where policymakers, researchers and health care providers meet to discuss and analyse important issues concerning the Swedish health care system. With a strong international perspective and focus on the patient experience, the aim is to stimulate innovation, contribute to new ideas, and assist policymakers and politicians with knowledge and possible policy options.
Forum for Health Policy was founded by Johan Calltorp, Thorbjörn Larsson and professor Richard Saltman.
Who are we?
The Forum is steered by its partner organizations working in Swedish health care, elderly care and life science, including patient associations, personnel unions, national interest organizations, pharmaceutical companies, medtech companies, non-profit and for-profit private providers. Together they
contribute to a holistic perspective on health policy issues.
