Sweden becomes first country to let doctors prescribe travel for wellbeing
- Sweden's tourist board Visit Sweden launched The Swedish Prescription, letting doctors prescribe a visit to Sweden to support patient wellbeing.
- The programme includes forest walks, cycling and sauna sessions backed by Karolinska Institutet professor Yvonne Forsell.
- Patients can download a one-page prescription to bring to their doctor, who can recommend a stay in Sweden if appropriate.
- The campaign is a prevention initiative, not a clinical treatment, and does not cover travel or treatment costs.
