Our strategy in 2019

Our strategic focus areas in 2019 were:
1. Effectiveness, customer orientation, and customer experience
2. Competitiveness
3. Basic health care cooperation, and
4. Research and teaching

There were three strategic key goals, each subdivided into several component goals.

Our key goals for 2019 were:
1. HUS is the most desirable place for treatment
2. HUS is an innovative and competitive operator in the social welfare and health care service chain
