On Monday, a handshake sealed an initiative by the Cancer Foundation to improve palliative care in Dalarna. Regional councilor Elin Norén (S) stressed: “It is incredibly fundamental.” According to a Cancer Foundation survey, palliative care in Sweden is not equal. In Dalarna county, conditions for patients with incurable diseases vary depending on where they live. The initiative aims to address these disparities and provide better care for the terminally ill. The article is reported by Felicia Lénård in Dala-Demokraten.
