According to sources, a number of people who have been active in the debate about the hospital in Ljungby are now starting a new healthcare party. Last year, the closure of intensive care in Ljungby was one of the hottest political issues, with heated debates and large protests. A group has laid the foundation for a new party, under the working name 'Vård i Kronoberg'.
The stated purpose of the new party is for Region Kronoberg to have two independent emergency hospitals with intensive care (ICU), as well as better-functioning primary care and ambulance care. ' Other backers of the new party include doctor Niklas Nygaard, former rescue chief Ola Johannesson, and former liberal top politician Bo Bergsjö. Johannson added, 'We are many from healthcare who have tried to explain what consequences decisions have, but have not quite gotten through.
We will submit the registration application today.
' The specific steps the new party plans to take to achieve its goals are not yet clear, and it is unknown how much public support it currently has. The party's formation comes after significant local controversy over healthcare services.
We are many from healthcare who have tried to explain what consequences decisions have, but have not quite gotten through. Perhaps we can from within, by being a party with healthcare knowledge, change how decision-making goes.
