The three independent levels of Swedish government are all involved in the health system. At the state level, the
Ministry of Health and Social Affairs is responsible for overall health and health care policy while working in
concert with eight national government agencies directly involved in the areas of health, health care, and public
health. Sweden has had a long history of strong local self-government. Responsibility for the organization and
provision of health care services lies mainly with the 21 county councils (including four regional bodies), which
also are responsible for operating regional transportation and cultural activities. At the local level, 290 municipalities
are responsible for matters relating to the immediate environment of their citizens, including care of
older people and disabled people. The regional and local authorities are represented by the Swedish Association
of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR).
