1177.se is Sweden’s national healthcare portal, offering secure digital access to your personal health journal. Once logged in, you can view diagnoses, test results, and other medical records recorded by any healthcare provider in Sweden. The service is free, available to anyone aged 16 or older with a Swedish personnummer, and works around the clock from any device with an internet connection.
What You Need Before Logging In
To access your health journal on 1177.se, you need two things: a Swedish personnummer and a Swedish e-identification. The most common option is BankID, which most Swedish residents with a bank account already have. If your bank does not issue BankID, Freja Plus is a widely accepted alternative. Both are free and can be set up on your phone or computer.
Also make sure your browser or device language is set to Swedish. The journal interface displays all medical entries in Swedish, and automatic translation tools can distort clinical terms, leading to confusion or misreading important information.
Step-by-Step: Logging In and Accessing Your Journal
Go to 1177.se in your browser and click the Logga in button near the top of the page. You will be asked to choose your e-identification method. Select BankID (or Freja Plus), open the BankID app on your phone, and confirm the login request. Once authenticated, you will land on your personal dashboard where you can navigate to your health journal and other available services.
The 1177 login screen works on any device with BankID or Freja Plus.
What You Can See in Your Health Journal
Your journal contains records from all healthcare providers who have treated you, including hospitals, health centres, and clinics. This means you can review notes from a visit to your local vårdcentral months or years after the appointment, check prescribed medications, read diagnostic comments from specialists, and access blood test results as soon as they are published.
The level of detail visible in your journal varies depending on which region you live in and which clinic recorded the information. Some regions show full clinical notes; others display summarised entries. If something is missing, it may be because the clinic has not yet connected its system to the digital journal portal.
Privacy Controls: Blocking and Sealing Your Journal
1177.se gives you several privacy options. You can block sharing of specific information across different healthcare providers so that one clinic cannot see records from another. You can also seal your entire journal, which removes it from the online portal entirely. A sealed journal cannot be accessed digitally, though healthcare staff can still retrieve the information through internal channels when needed.
If you have children under the age of 13, you can apply to view their journal as a guardian. Once a child turns 13, this access ends automatically to protect the child’s own medical privacy.

Final Thoughts
1177.se is a powerful and privacy-conscious tool for managing your health information in Sweden. The login process takes under a minute with BankID, and once you are in, your complete medical history is available at any time. If you are new to Sweden, setting up BankID and logging in for the first time should be one of your first steps after receiving your personnummer.
