"Health for all by raising awareness"
I am a small town resident with almost grown children. I have worked with health and people all my professional life.
I feel strongly that we are all equally entitled to health care.
Health is much more than the absence of illness, and here I believe that we all can make efforts to ensure that we and those around us feel well.
About life in general, I am interested in and curious about most things; everything from culture and science to exercise.
Important political topics
Accessible health care
In a welfare society, health care should be equally accessible to everyone. The cornerstones of health are preventive actions and a functioning primary care. These must be available to all of us on same grounds.
Thriving children, adolescents and families
To create and maintain a functioning society, young people and young families need to be allright.Young people are the ones who will be the future bearers of responsibility. Early intervention and support is a human right that also saves society costs in the longer term.
Safe living
Everyone should have the right to feel safe in their homes and in their surroundings, regardless of, for example, gender, ethnicity, religion or age.
Community climate should be tolerant and its citizens aware of the consequences of their actions.
