Journal of Health Organization and Management Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute knowledge on ethical issues and reasoning in expertreports concerning healthcare governance, cDesign/methodology/approach – An in-depth analysis of ethical issues and reasoning in 36 commissionedexpert reports was performed. Twenty-seven interviews with commissioners and producers of the reports werealso carried out and analysed.Findings – Some ethical issues were identified in the reports. But ethical reasoning was rarely evident. Themeaning of ethical concepts could be devalued and changed over time and thereby deviate from statutoryethical goals and values. Several ethical issues of great concern for the Swedish public healthcare were alsoabsent.Practical implications – The commissioner of expert reports needs to ensure that comprehensive ethicalconsiderations and ethical analysis are integrated in the expert reports.Originality/value – Based on an extensive data material this paper reveals an ethical void in expert reportson healthcare governance. By avoiding ethical issues there is a risk that the expert reports could bring aboutreforms and control models that have ethically undesirable consequences for people and society.

How to handle value conflicts in Swedish healthcare
A new study will investigate the differences in cultural values between migrants and Swedish healthcare professionals. The aim is to find out which strategies have been successfully used to handle vAccording to studies conducted by the (WVS), Sweden can be considered the world's most gender equal country. This affects our view on sexual and reproductive rights, such as sex before marriage and abortion. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to use gender equality in their work while also providing a culture-sensitive care. Differences in socio-cultural traditions and difficulties in talking about subjects within sex, cohabitation and reproduction can cause misunderstandings and ultimately poorer care. How does healthcare staff handle this challenge?The research project "The role of values for equity in sexual and reproductive health. Clinical encounters as contentious space in a multicultural society" will look into the strategies that health professionals use and explore which ones were most successful. It will also explore the differences in cultural values between immigrants and healthcare professionals, what prejudices exist and how the values change over time. The goal is to ultimately develop and evaluate tools that can help healthcare professionals to reflect on their own values and address conflicts of interest.The project is funded by Forte, will last 2018-2020 and is run by Birgitta Essén at the Department of Women and Children's Health at Uppsala University. and will participate in the project from the Institute for Future Studies.
