Executive Summary
The pricing of medical aids, which are classified together with medical devices as a single group by the Swedish government, is misleading to politicians, claims Anders Hultman, managing director of the Swedish Association of Suppliers of Medical Devices (SLF). His claim follows a study undertaken by Gunilla-Hedstrom at the University of Goteborg, which confirmed that medical aids are a decisive factor in the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
