In Sweden, prior to reforms, hospitals were owned and operated directly by the county councils, which were responsible for financing and delivering health services and which employed most physicians, both hospital-based physicians and those providing primary health care.
En Suède, avant l’adoption des réformes, les hôpitaux appartenaient aux conseils de comté qui étaient chargés de l’administration ainsi que du financement et de la prestation des services de santé et qui employaient la plupart des médecins, ceux qui étaient rattachés à un hôpital et les médecins de soins primaires.
