Norway: NOK 45 million to reduce inequalities in the health service

NordenBladet – Several vulnerable patient groups are too little involved in clinical studies that evaluate treatment effect, diagnostics and rehabilitation.

Now 45 million kroner is allocated to reduce inequalities within the health sector, writes the Research Council (Forskningsrådet) in a press release.

In four different projects, researchers will examine children with autism, people with dementia, the mental health of minority youth who have fled alone to Norway and children and young people with chronic kidney disease.

“There is a need for more research that can develop health services and contribute to good and accurate diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation,” says CEO of the Research Council Mari Sundli Tveit.
