Doktor24 Restructures: Nurses Out, Doctors In

  • Summary

  • Doktor24, a Swedish digital healthcare provider, is replacing its nurses with doctors following its acquisition by Doktor.se. The move has drawn criticism for increasing healthcare costs to taxpayers and reducing efficiency, as doctors will now handle tasks typically managed by nurses. Critics argue this violates Sweden's healthcare principle of providing care at the lowest effective level, with concerns that more expensive doctor consultations will divert resources from patients with greater needs. The decision has sparked resistance from the nursing union and raised questions about profit motives in digital healthcare. This episode unpacks the ongoing debate and its implications for Sweden's healthcare system.
