Within its Health and Medical Care Administration, the largest department in the organization, nearly 80% of employees are women, as confirmed by official sources.
Region Västerbotten is currently involved in two projects: the Samba project, which is related to mental illness, and the national Momentum project, according to official statements. However, the specific factors that contributed to Region Västerbotten achieving the lowest sick leave rate in 2025 remain unclear, and it is unknown how its rate compares to previous years beyond the general decrease mentioned. Additionally, the detailed results or impacts of the Samba and Momentum projects have not been disclosed.
