Swedish Association for Social Medicine & Public Health

We work to highlight the importance of Public Health and Social Medicine competence for Sweden.

If not earlier, then during a pandemic it becomes clear how important it is with preventive work and to pay attention to how different conditions affect the health of the population. At the same time, a health system with readiness is needed to enable health of the entire population where the equity perspective is central.

Swedish Association for Social Medicine and Public Health, works to highlight the importance of Public Health and Social Medicine competence for Sweden. Through seminars, we draw attention to current topics and participate in the social debate. We also arrange regular meetings and arrange courses in social medicine and public health science issues. The association is Sweden's representative in The European Public Health Association (EUPHA), which brings together all of Europe's leading public health scientists, including the European Public Health Conference. In addition to this, we are a referral body for social medicine and public health science issues.

The association is a member association of EUPHA, the Swedish Medical Society and a specialist association within the Swedish Medical Association, but other professional categories are also represented in the association.
