In the report the National Board of Health and Welfare emphasises the importance of an increased focus on health and prevention in the health-care system. This shift in focus may improve the effectiveness of health care and decrease the differences in health between various groups of the population. In addition, we have placed great emphasis on the perspective of the public and patients, as well as on the challenges facing health care in the future. Health Care Report 2009 demonstrates many positive trends when it comes to treatment results for most major illnesses and diseases widespread in the general population, including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. At the same time it shows that there are areas which sometimes work less well, for example accessibility and equity of care.
