Västra Götaland Regional Council, Regional council in Vänersborg, Sweden
Västra Götaland Regional Council is a public authority in western Sweden that provides healthcare and transportation services across the region. It operates as the administrative body responsible for delivering these essential services to communities throughout the county.
The Regional Council was created in 1999 through the merger of three former county councils. This consolidation brought together administrative functions that had previously been divided among separate organizations.
The Regional Parliament consists of 149 elected members who make decisions about healthcare, public transport, and development initiatives throughout Västra Götaland County.
Residents can reach healthcare services by calling 1177, while people from outside Sweden should use the international number for medical inquiries. Knowing which service you need helps connect you with the right department quickly.
Västtrafik, the transport company managed under this authority, operates bus lines and rail connections across a large area of western Sweden. This network connects small villages to larger cities and allows many people to travel without a car.
