Styrning och ansvar i hälso- och sjukvården

On Wednesday 24 June, we organise Life Science-dagen in a large tent at Hamnplan, in collaboration with AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Chiesi, Lund University, Novo Nordisk, Roche and SmiLe Venture Hub.

At 09:00-09:45, there will be a seminar in Swedish on ”Styrning och ansvar i hälso- och sjukvården”, hosted by AstraZeneca. Please note that the program and its speakers/panelists might be updated before it takes place – updated program in the official program for Almedalsveckan.

Seminar focus

The inquiry into the nationalisation of healthcare presented its report a year ago – what happens next? Will it become an election issue, or will it be overshadowed by the many other topics dominating the public debate? One question remains: could increased state control of pharmaceuticals become a reality regardless?

We will take a closer look at whether greater state control of pharmaceuticals is likely to be introduced, and how Sweden, the life science sector and patients may be affected by the United States’ new drug pricing reform.

Speakers

• Jakob Forssmed, Minister for Social Affairs and Public Health, Government of Sweden, Christian Democrats (KD)
• Karl-Johan Karlsson, Head of Public Affairs and Communications, AstraZeneca AB

Life Science-dagen aims to establish a high-profile, unified forum and meeting point dedicated to life science at Almedalsveckan, in line with our role as the largest life science park in Scandinavia.

During Almedalsveckan 2026 Medicon Village also organise Skånes Innovationsarena on Thursday 25 June.
