Nordic model of access

The Nordic model of access refers to a healthcare system common in Scandinavian countries where healthcare services are publicly funded, ensuring that all residents can receive necessary medical care regardless of income. It emphasizes universal access, high-quality care, and cost containment through government oversight. Funding mainly comes from taxes, and the system aims to reduce financial barriers, promote health equity, and deliver efficient, patient-centered services. This model balances accessibility with sustainability, prioritizing societal well-being alongside responsible resource management.
