"Accessible, High-Quality, and Effective Welfare"
Accessible healthcare, high-quality medical services, and a well-functioning social care system with a strong focus on addiction treatment – these are my key priorities. I want to reduce waiting times, ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, and improve social services to prevent exclusion and mental health issues through early intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration. No one should be left without the help they need.
In my work in marketing and business development, I have learned to see opportunities where others see obstacles – and I want to bring this mindset into welfare policy as well.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, working out at the gym, taking walks in nature, or relaxing with a good show on Netflix. But right now, my focus is on building a better and more accessible welfare system – for everyone.
Important political topics
Accessible health care
Accessing healthcare should be easy and available to everyone. No one should have to wait unreasonably long or face bureaucratic obstacles. I want to lower the threshold for seeking care by reducing queues through more doctors and nurses, service vouchers, and efficient digital services. Chat services, phone hotlines, and other low-threshold options should make healthcare more accessible and responsive. Healthcare must adapt to people’s needs – not the other way around.
High-quality health care
When you seek medical care, you should receive help – not just painkillers and another referral. I want to strengthen the role of local hospitals and ensure that even smaller hospitals can perform day surgery procedures and maintain 24/7 emergency services. We must invest in research, development, and innovation within the healthcare system to guarantee high-quality care. By focusing on training and professional development for healthcare staff, we can create a system where no patient is left behind, and everyone gets the right care at the right time.
Functioning social welfare
An inclusive society starts with taking care of those who need support. I want a social care system that prevents exclusion and mental health issues through early intervention and strong collaboration between healthcare, schools, early childhood education, the third sector, and authorities. Addiction treatment must be based on research, focusing on prevention, early intervention, and structured treatment paths. We need more low-threshold clinics, better identification of risk groups, and comprehensive support for both individuals struggling with addiction and their families – in both Swedish and Finnish.
