Sahlgrenska University Hospital is Sweden’s largest hospital and one of Europe’s major university hospitals. Based in Gothenburg, it provides healthcare for patients while also supporting research, education and the development of medical practice. Its expertise includes highly specialised care, and the hospital serves patients across a wide range of needs through its departments and clinics.

Services and resources include emergency care, appointments, laboratory testing, maternity and childbirth care, and support for children and families. Patients can find information about preparing for visits, getting to hospital sites, parking, check-in, medical records and their rights. The hospital also directs patients to digital healthcare services through 1177.se, where they can manage appointments, renew prescriptions and contact clinics.

Sahlgrenska University Hospital works with healthcare providers through resources such as regional laboratory medicine, hygiene guidance and referral services. It is pursuing a long-term ambition to become one of Europe’s leading university hospitals by 2032, with continued focus on accessible care, leading research and education.
