Description
Sweden has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, something which is reflected in its national public health policy bill. The bill is one of the few in the world that is based on the determinants of health in the population across 11 objective domains, encompassing the entire lifespan with the goal of providing the collective possibility of long and continually healthy lives for its citizens.Content
