Health minister Elisabeth Lann (KD) describes the high sick leave in the healthcare sector as a failure and is now calling a crisis meeting with unions and employers. Sick leave is highest in female-dominated professions such as care, elderly care, and school, with three out of four stress-related illnesses affecting women, according to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's report.
HV71's interim general manager Fredrik Stillman has taken indefinite sick leave due to exhaustion symptoms, following Björn Liljander's earlier absence. The club is working on a replacement while addressing increased hate and threats toward staff. This comes as HV71 grapples with management challenges.
