Fifth Cultural Post: Swedish Public Health

Swedish public health is a particularly interesting topic for me because of my personal interests in the area. Swedne's healthcare system is recognized around the world as one of the most affordable and accessible in the world. There are no costs for healthcare, with only dew exceptions in dentistry after a certain age.

One of the most well known Swedish researchers Han Rosling is a leader in public health research. In the video below he speaks about public health and how countries' resources are prioritized differently. Rosling also speaks about his own personal experience on a trip in Mozambique where insects such as the mosquito have a detrimental affect on healthcare.
