SENew figures from the National Board of Health and Welfare show that visits to Swedish emergency care units increased by three percent last year, with longer waiting times for women and older patients.

Bruno Ziegler, a medical expert at the National Board of Health and Welfare, notes that this pattern has repeated annually but the reasons remain unclear.
