Patienträttighetsnämnden

Patienträttighetsnämnden is a Swedish board that handles appeals concerning patients' rights. It is part of the Swedish Healthcare system and is responsible for ensuring that patients' rights are respected and upheld. The board receives appeals from individuals who believe their rights have been violated by healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics, or individual medical professionals.

The Patienträttighetsnämnden reviews decisions made by regional healthcare authorities regarding patient complaints. If a patient is dissatisfied with the outcome of a complaint filed with their regional healthcare provider, they can escalate the matter to the Patienträttighetsnämnden. The board then conducts an independent assessment of the case.

The primary function of the Patienträttighetsnämnden is to provide a fair and impartial review of patient rights disputes. Their decisions are binding on the parties involved. The board's work contributes to maintaining a high standard of patient care and ensuring accountability within the Swedish healthcare system. Information about how to file an appeal and the types of cases handled by the board is typically available through official Swedish government websites.
