In addition, individual floors can be subdivided into smaller isolation units in the event of an epidemic.

Treatment is carried out efficiently and safely, in accordance with the highest national and international standards. With its facilities for treating all types of acute patients, the casualty department at Skåne University Hospital is the largest and busiest accident and emergency facility in Sweden.
