3. How medical support systems exist on the basis of lagom15 It seems that palliative treatment emphasizes quality of life, and therefore in Sweden, there is a lot of support aiming for the enjoyment in life. For example, in life, Swedish people have a well-established summer lifestyle that includes going on trips to summer houses and other places. Because of this lifestyle, nursing homes provide training for safe travel as part of their rehabilitation programs, and the government subsidizes cab fares for elderly people in order to travel far to their summer houses. There is a tendency to place more importance on supporting life itself than medical care, so that the elderly can lead a high quality of life, not only for the elderly themselves, but as a whole society.These may be traced back to the Swedish values of "living one's own life like themselves," not asking for too much, and being satisfied with the present, which are also at the root of the Lagom values. If we look at this idea of "lagom" in the context of medical support, we can find a slightly different medical environment in Sweden and Japan. As an example,I would like to introduce the support system for the elderly among the two countries . As the term "bedridden elderly" in Japanese dictionary suggests, Japanese medical practice tends to give priority to life-prolonging treatment. However, the reality is that the way of medical treatment for the elderly at the end of life is in Japan is often far from what is practiced in other parts of the world. As a counterexample, I would like to introduce the Swedish emphasis on palliative medical care. Palliative medical care is a medical treatment that aims to alleviate physical and mental pain, with the aim of ensuring a peaceful life until the end of the patient's life. On the other hand, life-prolonging treatment is aimed at extending survival time as long as possible, fighting for seconds. Many of those cases can end up to be painful until the very end.
