Established by the Swedish Government in December 2024, the Committee is tasked with enhancing efficiency and improving healthcare through structural reforms. It will allocate 1.5 billion SEK to eligible initiatives, conduct analysis, recommend improvements, and promote the adoption of effective measures nationwide.   

 Kalle Conneryd Lundgren, CEO of Kry, comments: “Healthcare is our single largest societal sector, and I look forward to contributing my knowledge and experience, both from Sweden and internationally. Sweden has every opportunity to be a European leader in creating a healthcare system with high quality and good efficiency. We have top-class employees, we have leading researchers in many fields, but when it comes to efficiency and equality across the country, we have a way to go." 

 The Efficiency Committee is responsible for state grant of 250 million SEK per year from 2025 to 2030, totaling 1.5 billion SEK. These funds can be applied for by the 21 regions in Sweden and will be distributed based on the impact that the initiatives have on streamlining operations and its administration.
