History

SU Östra

The Sahlgrenska Hospital was founded in 1772 following a donation by Niclas Sahlgren. The current hospital was formed in 1997 by integrating the three hospitals Sahlgrenska Sjukhuset, Östra Sjukhuset and Mölndals Sjukhus. The Sahlgrenska University Hospital has been operated by the Västra Götaland Regional Council since its formation in 1999.[2]

Lisbeth Salander, a central character in the "Millennium series" by Stieg Larsson, is treated in Sahlgrenska Hospital in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. Salander was flown to the hospital after being shot at the end of The Girl Who Played With Fire. After surgery, she was moved to an intensive care ward and kept under guard while she recovered. Dr. Anders Jonasson operated on Salander in the emergency room and watched over her during her stay in Sahlgrenska.
