Collaborations

Sahlgrenska University Hospital aspires to be a leading player in life science, contributing to healthcare developments both regionally and nationally. By collaborating with external partners, Sahlgrenska University Hospital gains access to knowledge, industry expertise and complementary capabilities to more effectively address complex healthcare challenges and accelerate improvements that benefit patients.

Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the University of Gothenburg share a long-standing and close partnership, with extensive collaboration across research, education, and clinical practice. This close integration creates a unique environment where knowledge, innovation, and patient care are developed hand in hand at multiple levels.

Strategic partnerships at Sahlgrenska University Hospital help strengthen development, research, and innovation in Western Sweden and throughout the country. By pooling resources and expertise across sectors, these partnerships create the conditions to advance healthcare, shorten the path from discovery to implementation, and ensure that new treatments reach patients more quickly.

Through the international collaboration office Sahlgrenska International Care, the hospital builds international partnerships that improve healthcare through specialist training, professional exchange, development projects, highly specialised care, consulting services, and medical equipment aid. Recent collaborations have included exchange programmes with international hospitals, specialist training for healthcare professionals from other countries, and development projects that strengthen healthcare systems through capacity building, knowledge sharing, and medical equipment support.

Collaborating with other university hospitals, academic institutions and industry partners through partnerships is a way to drive innovation in areas where Sahlgrenska University Hospital and its partner organisations have greater opportunities to succeed together than independently.
