The nationalisation of the Swedish pharmacies

Abstract

The first Swedish parliamentary bill suggesting government-owned pharmacies was introduced in 1907 and was rejected. A number of official proposals were put forward until 1970 when the government decided to nationalise the Swedish pharmacies. The process leading to nationalisation was influenced by background and by more specific 'release' factors operating in the 1960s. The opposition in parliament to nationalisation was only minor. The new organisation formed, Apoteksbolaget AB, was given a drug selling monopoly and was organised as a limited company regulated by an agreement berween the government and Apoteksbolaget.
