Värnamo Hospital is one of Sweden's largest county hospitals. Here, specialized care is provided – both planned and acute – for diseases and injuries that cannot be investigated or treated at primary care centers. The hospital has about 110 beds, which means it is just the right size to offer a pleasant and collaborative environment and also a breadth of operations. We have several newly renovated wards, and we have a modern dialysis unit and an equally modern ambulance intake. Additionally, the operating and intensive care clinic's facilities are newly built.
