What is the national dementia strategy in Sweden?

According to the Swedish government, dementia is not a normal part of aging, a key premise of their national policy. Sweden's strategic framework, developed through extensive national collaboration, has a clear objective to ensure people with dementia can lead a dignified life. In January 2025, an updated strategy was announced, focusing on improving health and social care for those with dementia and their families. This latest version builds on prior efforts to provide person-centered, evidence-based care throughout the disease progression.
