Microsoft outage disrupts email at Swedish public services
A Microsoft outage is disrupting email at Swedish public services and access to university systems, while Stockholm’s hospitals and emergency care continue to operate normally.
Region Gotland warned on Friday that messages sent to the region might not arrive. Its notice said Microsoft was investigating the global disruption.
Karolinska Institutet reported problems logging into or working in several Microsoft 365 services. Luleå University of Technology also reported access problems affecting Outlook and Teams.
The disruption began on Thursday, Aftonbladet reports. Region Stockholm told the newspaper that intermittent problems mainly affected administration and some primary-care services, without serious operational consequences.
Västra Götaland reported email problems but said its medical systems were unaffected. Lycksele municipality advised people to call when they needed contact.
The notices describe problems at particular organisations, rather than a nationwide shutdown of healthcare. Anyone waiting for an email response from an affected service should check that organisation’s current contact information. No confirmed restoration time was given in the notices reviewed.
