A service disruption at Sweden's E-hälsomyndigheten (e-Health Agency) is reportedly affecting the ability of patients to access prescribed medications, according to local media reports. The disruption, which began on February 26, 2026, has impacted the agency's prescription service, making it difficult for individuals to retrieve medications from pharmacies. Nya Wermlands-Tidningen reported that the prescription service is down, while Eskilstuna-Kuriren described the situation as 'major pharmacy trouble' affecting medication access across the country.
Both sources indicate that the technical issues are preventing patients from obtaining prescribed drugs, though the exact cause and scope of the disruption remain unclear. The E-hälsomyndigheten is responsible for Sweden's national e-health infrastructure, including digital prescription services that connect healthcare providers with pharmacies.
