Dagens Medicin Sverige

What Dagens Medicin Sverige does

Dagens Medicin Sverige is a Swedish B2B healthcare trade publication founded in 1994 and operated by Bonnier Business Media Sweden AB, a subsidiary within the Bonnier News group (the Bonnier family-owned media conglomerate). It targets healthcare decision makers and legitimized (licensed) healthcare professionals in Sweden, serving them with a weekly print newspaper published 34 times per year, a daily weekday-updated website covering medical specialties such as general medicine, psychiatry, neurology, surgery, pediatrics, and infectious diseases, plus a digital edition (e-tidning) delivered through the Bonnier News platform. Editorial governance follows Spelregler för press, radio och TV, the Swedish press ethics framework.

The product portfolio extends beyond core news into a multi-revenue media business: free email newsletters, a debate and opinion platform for healthcare professionals, a dedicated healthcare job board (Lediga jobb), an Academy offering paid professional development courses (e.g., Diplomerad processledare, Effektiv produktionsstyrning i vården, Ledarskap för läkare), a vodcast series (Valet & Kvalet), and a calendar of healthcare events and conferences. Specialized editorial coverage exists for Digital Health and the Pharmaceutical Market through named editor roles.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) subscription revenue from bundled print and digital access sold primarily to individual healthcare professionals and decision makers; (2) advertising revenue, sold both through the Bonnier News shared advertising platform and through dedicated corporate sales and recruitment ad teams; and (3) event and education revenue from paid courses and conferences. The operating entity is a private limited company domiciled in Stockholm (registered office Gjörwellsgatan 30, 105 16 Stockholm), with approximately 18 employees and no public listing or disclosed external funding.
