A new investigation has proposed ending emergency care services at Ljungby Hospital, directing all such operations to Växjö instead.

The report suggests that this change would improve patient safety, create a better work environment, and be more economically sustainable.

Hospital management cites significant difficulties in staffing both emergency and planned care at two hospitals due to future healthcare challenges.

Political leaders, however, are determined to explore all possibilities to maintain two emergency hospitals in Kronoberg.

Further studies will look into alternative solutions to keep emergency services at Ljungby Hospital without impacting planned care.
