Accessible healthcare
Accessible and well-functioning healthcare is essential for ensuring the well-being of our residents. Continued investments in healthcare are an investment in the future.
I aim to work towards:
Shortening the healthcare waiting lists, a temporary solution could be the use of service vouchers.
Make proper investments in preventive healthcare at all levels.
Lower the age for the first cervical cancer screening in Turku from 30 to 25 years.
There should be enough ambulances even in rural areas to ensure emergency care in all regions.
Effective social care
To address the growing challenges in society, more low-threshold clinics are needed where people can quickly receive help. Additionally, there needs to be better collaboration between municipalities, schools, healthcare, and the third sector to identify and support at-risk groups early on.
We should also strengthen social services by increasing the number of social workers. Protection for those experiencing domestic violence must be improved through more shelter spaces and easily accessible support services. No one should have to wait for help in an emergency.
By investing in preventive care, better access to support, and safer social services, we can reduce exclusion, improve well-being, and increase security in society.
I aim to work towards:
To hire more social workers.
To increase the number of shelter places.
Mental health
Mental health is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and everyone should have the right to quick and accessible help. We want to see more low-threshold clinics where people can easily seek support without long waiting times. At the same time, collaboration between municipalities, schools, healthcare, and the third sector must be strengthened to identify and support those who are struggling early on.
There must be sufficient resources for mental health, including in Swedish. We need to improve care pathways to ensure that no one falls through the cracks. Families and loved ones of individuals with mental health issues or substance abuse should be offered support and counseling. Additionally, we need to invest more in preventive measures to reduce mental health problems in society.
By prioritizing mental health, we are building a safer and more prosperous society, where no one is left behind and everyone gets the support and help they need.
I aim to work towards:
Families and relatives of people suffering from mental health or substance abuse, should be offered support and counseling.
Shortening the waiting lists and waiting times for receiving mental health help and support.
That there should be easily accessible help and support at all educational levels.
Sufficient resources to prevent substance abuse and identify risk groups earlier.
