If you read in 1177 The Västernorrland County website states that in the year you turn 40, 50 or 60, you should be offered an individual health test and consultation from the health center listed.
Law No. 1177 states that patients have the right to health advice, according to the Västernorrland Vårdval Västernorrland rule book. As a patient, do you have to change healthcare centers to participate in this? The wonders of the “studied patient.”

I haven’t had the opportunity to visit my health center in recent years, but I was looking forward to it because I filled it evenly at the beginning of the year.
Months passed and no call for a test or health consultation appeared. I then called my health centre, Gilbergate Health Centre, just as it says on 1177 that you should call back as this is not showing up.
The answer I then received was that this health center no longer does these tests or samples, and has not done so for several years due to a lack of staff. However, I know that other health centers in Sundsvall perform these tests and talk to their patients in the years when they reach their birthdays.
