Thanks to its updated version, users can now seek for health care centres throughout Sweden, ask for advice and obtain knowledge on health matters as well as use their local eServices to contact healthcare services.
1177.se has been in operation for over ten years and contains information about diseases, related tests and medicine. What is also new is that each county and region has its own webpage, with news and links to the eServices that concern it. Another online service that has been added is the 'Find and compare health care' service that enables users to search for and find information about care units across the country, such as their contact details and opening hours.
"There are some services that are not fully developed yet and next year [2011] the responsible of the portal will be working in order to enrich the portal with even more content. During 2011, we will also create two major thematic areas within the 1177.se portal that will contain information about cancer both for parents - children", stated Ellen Hyttsten, chief executive officer (CEO) of the company that runs the portal.
Another feature of the updated 1177.se is that it is possible for counties and regions to complement the national texts with regional content. In the regional content users can find information about the local rates for a mammography, for instance, and then investigate its rates, where this exam can be done and what age groups should do it.
"The development of 1177.se will continue with new eServices and information. In the longer term users will also be able to have access to their health records via 1177.se", said Lars-Olof Hensjö medical director of the company.
