Regional Authorities governing health (Landstingen)
Most healthcare is managed at a regional level (landsting) with some very specific bits delegated to local level (kommun). However, this does not mean that the government plays no role in setting policy or standards. General policy and guidelines are determined at national level – regions merely decide how to implement the policy within the guidelines. This allows them some freedom to adapt their priorities as appropriate for that area.The link will help you find the local authority for your region.

 
The Swedish National Institute of Public Health (SNIPH) is the main national authority. The SNIPH is a state agency under the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. The Institute is responsible for monitoring and co-ordinating of the national public health policy. They are also a national centre of knowledge on public health to all levels of government, monitoring and developing knowledge within the sphere of public health  as well as being responsible for supervision in the areas of alcohol, illicit drugs and tobacco.
