"Because we need more young, driven and sound decision-makers."
Hi there! I'm Ida, a cultural manager currently working as a coordinator at the Electrotechnical Trade Association of Finland. In addition to my job, I am involved in both politics and theatre, as well as various kinds of board work. During my studies at Arcada in Helsinki, I became interested in higher education politics and after being a member of my student union, National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences and the European Students’ Union, I decided to also become politically active outside of my studies. My first election was the Finnish Parliamentary elections in 2023, and I was elected vice president for Swedish Youth in spring 2024.
I am also running in the municipal elections

Mental Health
Although Finland is once again the happiest country in the world, the mental wellbeing of young people in particular has declined significantly. To reverse this trend, we need to invest in mental health care throughout the country and ensure that there are sufficient resources for young people in particular. The therapy guarantee is a good start, but we must also invest resources in preventive, mental health and substance abuse care.
Safe living
Everyone should have the right to a safe life. And security means being able to rely on support when needed, such as medical or rehabilitative care. Safety means that, despite situations where we need support, we can live as normal a life as possible, despite the circumstances, and that there is expertise in matters that affect your welfare. Safety means that you can rely on the ambulance to arrive within a reasonable time when you need it, regardless of the time of day. I want to be a confident voice in the decision-making body, ensuring that your life also remains safe.
Accessible health care
Primary care should remain in the region, as close to you as possible. Although centralisation can improve the quality of care to a certain extent, it is not a sustainable solution for our welfare area. Everyone should have the right to receive care in their own region, without having to travel long distances to spend hours in a queue. Healthcare services in rural areas are also needed. We also need different conditions for care for men and care for women, as there are differences in need.

Ambulance services should receive more resources so that the number of ambulances in the region increases rather than decreases.
2 / 14
Services should be maintained in the regional hospitals in Raseborg and Lohja.
3 / 14
The wellbeing services county of West Uusimaa should allocate more resources to language supplements to encourage staff to provide services in Swedish.
The fact that Swedish is Finland\'s second national language not only means that we have to learn Swedish at school, but we should be able to receive care in Swedish, give our parents and grandparents the opportunity to live in a Swedish-speaking retirement home or receive home care from Swedish-speaking nurses. But due to a lack of resources, I do not see language as the main priority, even though it is extremely important
4 / 14
There should be more mobile services, such as health buses and remote consultations.
In smaller towns and villages, I see a need for health buses, so that people who don\'t have access to a car can also receive care.
5 / 14
Wellbeing services counties must increase investments in preventive healthcare, even if it means that other types of care receive fewer resources.
6 / 14
A personal doctor system should be introduced to improve continuity of care, even if it requires extra resources for a while.
7 / 14
Wellbeing services counties should prohibit the use of temporary agency doctors.
8 / 14
More shelter spaces should be established to help individuals subjected to violence.
9 / 14
To shorten waiting times, wellbeing services counties should increase the use of service vouchers.
10 / 14
Healthcare should be centralized if it saves money or improves quality.
11 / 14
Funding and resources for rescue services should be prioritized higher, even if it means cuts in other sectors.
12 / 14
Undocumented migrants should have the right to non-urgent healthcare.
13 / 14
More emphasis should be placed on training healthcare staff in gender diversity and sexual diversity.
