Mora hospital set for historic 1.2 billion investment

Four regional councilors from Samling för Dalarna unveiled plans on Tuesday for a 1.2 billion kronor renovation of Mora lasarett. The investment addresses 1970s operating rooms, work environment issues, and threats of fines following a prolonged process with setbacks.

Mora lasarett faces a major 1.2 billion kronor upgrade. On Tuesday, four regional councilors from Samling för Dalarna—Sofia Jarl (C), Elin Norén (S), Anton Krigsman (DSP), and Birgitta Sacrédeus (KD)—presented the plans. The goal is to secure the hospital's future amid longstanding challenges. Operating rooms date back to the 1970s, with reported work environment problems and threats of fines.
