Erik Gustavsson's thesis explores the concept of needs in health care priority setting, examining ethical frameworks and philosophical principles that influence decision-making. The study delves into the Swedish Ethical Platform for Priority Setting, discussing concepts like distributive justice, the difference criterion, and the benefit criterion. It aims to refine the understanding of health care needs and propose ethical guidelines for prioritizing care, particularly for patients with multiple needs. The work targets scholars in health care ethics, policy-makers, and philosophers interested in moral reasoning and health care distribution.
