Sweden - Full LMHI-Report 2008

Report from Sweden April 2008

In Sweden we are still struggling with the new rules on registration on homeopathic medicinal products which also affects the access of the products for the practitioners.
The only way to treat a patient when the homeopathic remedy is not registered or on a "free list" (on the market before 1993 and until now not registered), is to tell the patients which remedy they need so that they can buy it abroad or on the internet for personal use. This is not a secure way to treat the patient.

The national vice president for Sweden have arranged (together with ECHAMP) the 2:nd Nordic meeting for ECHAMP in Stockholm in October 2007. One day all parts of the Nordic market were invited to a discussion about the situation in the Nordic Countries. There were also time for the ECHAMPs management to meet Swedish authorities where the national vice president for Sweden was the arranger, guide and contact person for the meetings.

In April 2008 LMHI Sweden has done a summery on the team World Homeopathy 2008 and sent to Dr Charles Amengual, LMHI Secretary for Education.
