Figures for Sweden are educational references, not individualized clinical, legal, or travel advice. HandTherapy.app does not create a clinician–patient relationship. Always confirm emergency numbers and coverage with local authorities and your care team.

In Sweden, public references commonly list 112 (EU unified emergency) for life-threatening emergencies. HandTherapy.app does not place calls, verify numbers for your situation, or monitor emergencies. If you may be having a medical emergency, use local emergency services immediately.
