   Abstract : The rarity of a disease can give rise to challenges that differ from conventional diseases. For example, rarity hampers research and development of new drugs, and patients with severe, rare diseases have limited access to qualified treatments. When drugs are available, clinical evidence has higher uncertainty and the drugs can be very expensive. READ MORE

   Abstract : The resources available for the public provision of health care are not unlimited.

   Abstract : The overarching aim of this project is to explore, empirically as well as philosophically, the arguments for and against making Swedish healthcare priority setting decisions sensitive to patients’ degree of responsibility for their ill health.

   Abstract : Resource allocation in publicly funded healthcare systems is inevitably linked with priority setting between different patient groups and between different service areas, so-called meso level priorities. Behind every priority-setting decision (investments, reallocating or rationing), are values affecting both the content of the decisions and how the decisions are made. READ MORE
