In Sweden, a region (Swedish: [rɛɡɪˈuːn]) is a self-governing administrative division responsible primarily for healthcare and public transport. Sweden's regions correspond geographically to Sweden's 21 counties (Swedish: län) and were previously known as county councils (Swedish: landsting) until they were restructured and renamed in 2020. Regions (Swedish: regioner) are one of the principal administrative subdivisions of Sweden.
