The goal is to help the region’s efforts to create safer and more equal healthcare services. The agreement is for four years with the possibility to extend until 2031. The contract is worth SEK 410 million.

Tieto has had the overall responsibility for Region Skåne’s IT operations for many years, delivering end-user services with important healthcare applications.
