My name is Ida Wikman and I am a candidate in the county election.
In 2023, I graduated with a Master of Business Administration from the School of Business, Economics and Law at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, focusing on leadership, strategy, and organization. For the past year I have worked as the organisation coordinator for SFP in Ostrobothnia.
In my spare time, I like to get involved in various associations, and do sports and you will usually find me walking around with a podcast in my ears.
Although I have lived both abroad and in different cities in Finland, my home has always been Kaskö. Experiencing different healthcare systems has really made me appreciate the safe and high-quality care we have in Finland. At the same time, there is always room for improvement, and we can be inspired by solutions from other countries to improve accessibility and service. For example, I think that the system of having a named doctor and a named nurse, which is already in practice in other countries, is an interesting possibility that could make healthcare both more personal and more efficient.
Important political topics
Candidates answers in election machine
1 / 13
It is important that the wellbeing services county of Ostrobothnia has a central hospital with full emergency services.
2 / 13
The geographical distance to services is more important than whether the services are located within municipal boundaries.
3 / 13
There should be more mobile services, such as health buses and remote consultations.
More mobile services make healthcare more accessible and efficient. But there has to be a balance - remote consultations do not work for everyone.
4 / 13
Wellbeing services counties must increase investments in preventive healthcare, even if it means that other types of care receive fewer resources.
Preventive care is an investment that pays off in the long run. However, there needs to be enough resources to take care of those who need care now.
5 / 13
A personal doctor system should be introduced to improve continuity of care, even if it requires extra resources for a while.
6 / 13
Wellbeing services counties should prohibit the use of temporary agency doctors.
We should reduce reliance on locum doctors, while ensuring that no one is left without care.
7 / 13
More shelter spaces should be established to help individuals subjected to violence.
8 / 13
To shorten waiting times, wellbeing services counties should increase the use of service vouchers.
Service vouchers can be used where relevant to complement the public services.
9 / 13
Healthcare should be centralized if it saves money or improves quality.
Yes, but there must be alternatives such as healthcare buses or appointments in rural areas too.
10 / 13
Funding and resources for rescue services should be prioritized higher, even if it means cuts in other sectors.
11 / 13
Undocumented migrants should have the right to non-urgent healthcare.

If you could give a superpower to your future political leader, what would it be?
I think we would immediately notice a marked difference in people\'s mental and physical health if the environment was cleaned up and we did not have climate anxiety!
