The launch of the Millennium digital healthcare system in Sweden's Västra Götalandsregionen has turned into a costly disaster.

Introduced in November 2024, the system was paused just three days later due to widespread chaos and inefficiency.

Despite costing over 6 billion kronor, Millennium was plagued by technical glitches, poor training, and user-unfriendly design.

Medical staff reported delays, errors, and immense stress, with some tasks taking hours instead of minutes.

Overläkare Wojciech Skup publicly criticized the system, sparking protests and becoming a symbol of resistance.

Meanwhile, other Swedish regions, like Stockholm and Skåne, are reconsidering their plans to adopt Millennium, fearing similar failures.

Experts now call for a unified, functional national system to avoid further financial and operational setbacks.
