Healthcare Tops Swedish Voter Concerns, Social Dems Lead

Published: 2024-04-28

Recent surveys have highlighted healthcare as the top concern among Swedish voters, with 23% indicating it as their primary issue, a significant increase from previous polls.

The Social Democrats are perceived to have the best policies on healthcare, as well as on education, the economy, energy policy, and eldercare, leading in five out of the ten most important political matters to Swedes.

This marks a notable shift, with the Social Democrats surpassing the Moderates in areas such as energy policy.

The importance of healthcare has doubled since last autumn, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of the Swedish healthcare system and prompting calls for reforms to address accessibility, efficiency, and equality.
