Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control

The Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control is a government research facility in Solna that occupies a modern building complex with specialized laboratory spaces and office areas. The location serves as a center for studying infectious disease transmission and developing public health responses.

The institute was founded in 1993 as an independent organization and underwent a major reorganization in 2014 when it merged with another health institution. This merger created the unified Public Health Agency of Sweden that operates today.

The institute maintains strong partnerships with international health organizations, including the World Health Organization and European research institutions.

The facility is located in an office and research district easily accessible by public transportation in the Stockholm area. As an active research facility with security protocols, access to specific areas may be limited unless prior arrangements have been made.

The complex contains one of Europe's few high-containment biosafety laboratories designed to study some of the world's most dangerous pathogens. This specialized capability places it among the continent's most advanced infectious disease research centers.
