Västra Götaland Regional Council

The Västra Götaland Regional Council manages public healthcare systems and transportation services for 1.7 million residents across 49 municipalities in western Sweden.

In 1999, the council emerged from the consolidation of Gothenburg and Bohus, Älvsborg, and Skaraborg Counties, inheriting administrative responsibilities from their boards.

The Regional Parliament consists of 149 elected members who make decisions about healthcare, public transport, and development initiatives throughout Västra Götaland County.

Residents can access healthcare services by dialing 1177, while international callers should use +46 771 11 77 00 for medical assistance in the region.

Västtrafik, the regional transport company under council management, coordinates public transportation networks across 25,247 square kilometers of western Sweden.
