SBU is an independent national authority, tasked by the government with assessing health care and social service interventions from a broad perspective, covering medical, economic, ethical and social aspects.

SBU closely monitors what actions other countries are taking to meet the needs of decision- and policymakers to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Via the International organisation of HTA, INAHTA, SBU shares and exchanges information to support staff and decision-makers in health care and social services.

SBU is also in contact with the other Swedish agencies within the national health care sector who currently are working intensively to support both the health care services as well as care homes.
