Navigating the Swedish healthcare system

Navigating the Swedish healthcare system

Accessing healthcare when you need it can be a daunting prospect as a new international student in Sweden, with concerns understandably ranging from where to go and who to speak to, the cost, and how much it might impact your studies if you require prolonged medical care. In this episode we aim to clarify these things and reassure incoming international students, as host Leonie (a current student of BA Biomedicine) speaks to Sumaia, a current student who underwent major surgery for a serious heart problem. Sumaia shares her story, from first contact via the healthcare website and app 1177.se, to consultations with doctors and specialists and her eventual surgery and recovery. Plus, they discuss the academic support Sumaia received from the University to enable her to continue her studies while prioritising her health, and how international students benefit from subsidised public healthcare in Sweden, keeping costs capped to an affordable amount per year.
