Sammanfattning
Care at the Central station (“Vård på Centralen”) emerged when refugees
arrived at Stockholm Central Station in the autumn of 2015. A single medical
student quickly brought together two suitcases with compound articles and
non-prescription drugs, and started, together with some friends, to help the
arrivals. A few weeks later, the initiative had grown, and hundreds of careeducated
volunteers were organized through social media. The result: an
organization that was loosely organized, highly professionalized, networkoriented,
primarily internet-based, and that met needs possibly beyond the
scope of citizenship rights, but within the expectation of human rights. In the
present text, we briefly describe and discuss this organization. We argue that
in-depth knowledge of this type of organizations may be important in future
situations of similar kind.
