Medical Director and Advisor, Emergency Care Near Patient East

Make a difference. Every day. We now welcome you who want to be part of driving medical issues within close care and health. Within Emergency Care and Close Care East, the evening and weekend clinics in Ystad, Hässleholm, and Kristianstad, as well as the emergency department in Hässleholm, are included.
