Millennium System Faces Major Setbacks

Published: 2024-12-07

The launch of the Millennium healthcare system in Västra Götaland, Sweden, has faced significant challenges, leading to its temporary suspension.

Initially criticized, the system allowed unauthorized access to patient records, raising privacy concerns.

Despite efforts to patch last-minute issues, including a costly licensing gap, the system's rollout was marred by technical failures and regulatory non-compliance.

Staff protests and multiple official complaints followed, prompting an external investigation.

The region has reverted to its previous systems while the issues are addressed.
