1177se

1177.se is a Swedish online health information portal established to provide citizens with reliable health information and guidance for self-care and care-seeking. The site complements the telephone-based advice line 1177 Vårdguiden, offering articles, checklists, and tools to help users understand symptoms, illnesses, and treatment options. Content covers common health topics, pregnancy and parenting, injury advice, medication information, and guidance on when to seek urgent or routine care. While it provides general guidance, it does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or emergencies.

The platform is operated on behalf of the Swedish regional authorities that shape health care delivery in Sweden. It is typically financed by regional health budgets and overseen by a collaboration of regions and national health offices, with the overall aim of providing equitable access to health information. Some regions also integrate 1177.se with local e-services, allowing users to connect to booking, appointment management, or telehealth platforms, though features vary by locality.

Content on 1177.se is reviewed by healthcare professionals and adapted for Swedish audiences, with ongoing updates to reflect current guidelines and local care pathways. The site is accessible in Swedish, with limited multilingual content, and is designed for use on desktop and mobile devices.

1177.se is a key component of Sweden’s digital health infrastructure, supporting informed health choices, reducing unnecessary visits, and guiding users to appropriate care channels.
