The good life in Västra Götaland

Good health and work are important elements in a good life. As are access to education, good communications and culture. The seas and lakes must be healthy and the air that we breathe must be clean.

Region Västra Götaland’s assignment is to contribute to a thriving Västra Götaland which is a good place to live and work. It must be a good place for future generations to grow up in. Region Västra Götaland is governed by democratically elected politicians and with just over 50,000 employees is one of Sweden’s biggest employers.  Read more about our vision of a good life in Västra Götaland.
