In Sweden, we spend almost SEK 700 billion a year on healthcare, yet we are not getting healthier. The Swedish system is built to treat disease, not to prevent it. At the same time, we know that up to 80 percent of the healthcare burden comes from lifestyle diseases. That is, diseases we can largely influence ourselves. The average Swede spends the last ten years of his life in poor health, and if we succeed in reducing that time, there are major societal gains to be made.We have gathered the health profile Johannes Cullberg, Julia Elf, CEO and founder of Elfcare, Maria Rankka, Chairman of the Board of Cellcolabs and entrepreneur Douglas Roos in a discussion about the possibilities of preventive care.
