Abstract
The Matteus Primary Health Care Centre (MPHCC) is a pilot project with fullscale established future primary health care. Before the project began, the average district of a general practitioner consisted of 9000 inhabitants. After the start of MPHCC the district level was 3000 inhabitants per general practitioner in the study district. The populations utilization of the Stockholm emergency car service (SCS) has been analysed both before and after the establishing of the MPHCC in the northern inner city of Stockholm. The results confirm the hypotheses that the establishment of MPHCC reduces the workload on the SCS by 24%. The reduction is significant in all ages and for both men and women. The main period of the reduction is on weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the MPHCC is open.Keywords
