Figure. Nearly one-half of primary care facilities in Stockholm are now privately run, an almost-shocking statistic for a city and a country that has been the archetype for a welfare state built on high taxes. Located on Sweden's east coast, the central parts of Stockholm consist of 14 islands. The geographical centre of the city is essentially located on water, in the Bay of Riddarfjärden.
