The liberal party (Folkpartiet) in Örebro county want to make it easier to get into the Swedish health care sector for medical doctors with a foreign medical education.
For several years, the health care central in Kumla has been working actively to enable more medical doctors with foreign medical licenses to qualify for working as medical doctors in Sweden. This concerns both language skills and medical knowledge connected to the Swedish workplace environment.
- It is about knowing how Swedish health care operates; the symptoms of the patients are obviously still the same, says operations manager Anna Roman.
Currently, 10 out of the 13 regular physicians have a foreign medical education. One of them is the general practitioner Sherif Sabry from Egypt, who has been working at the health care central for a year.
- The biggest reason for me choosing Kumla is that they offer good training and organized mentoring. There is always an experienced general practitioner looking after us and teaching us about the Swedish health care system, says Sherif Sabry.
Now the "Kumla model" has become politics. At a press conference, the liberal party (Folkpartiet) in Örebro county presented their vision for getting more foreign-educated medical doctors into the Swedish health care sector.
Among other things, it involves a cooperation between the county council and the Migration Department to find out how many doctors arrive in the county. It also involves practical training.
- Kumla's health care central has a long experience with training medical doctors from other countries. They have managed well with giving them workplace training and teaching them the Swedish language. We believe that this concept can be implemented in more health care centrals in the county and we could thereby get more general practitioners, which would be beneficial to the patients, says Anna Ågerfalk (liberal party / Folkpartiet), political opposition leader.
