About this statute

Hospital district joint municipal authorities must organize prehospital emergency care in their area and decide its service level. The section says what prehospital emergency care includes: assessing care needs, urgent care for people who suddenly fall ill or are injured outside a healthcare institution, transport to the medically most appropriate care unit when needed, and transports during continued care when continuous care or monitoring is needed. Social- och hälsovårdsministeriet får utfärda förordning om vissa frågor som rör prehospital akutsjukvård. Rules on centralizing specialized healthcare into larger units and giving the Council of State power to regulate the division of tasks and coordination.
