Explanation:
This looks like a headline.

A few suggestions:

1 Billion to be invested in medical services and health care

Investments in medical services and health care totalling 1 billion

1-billion investment in medical services and health care

Plans to invest 1 billion in medical services and health care

Medical services and health care investments worth 1 billion

- I'm sure there are other possibilities.

I would have liked to know a little more because the Swedish miljardsatning does no indicate if we are talking one billion or several billion kronor.

Also, depending on the rest of the text, I suspect that "(the) (public) health sector" would be sufficient - and a lot easier to handle.

I hopæ this is useful.

to invest a billion into medical care and public health services


Explanation:
satsning - investment

I think it is generally used in plural; see for example, the following paragraph at http://se.news.yahoo.com/010312/58/dusg.html:
"Statliga Sårbarhets- och säkerhetsutredningen kommer att föreslå miljardsatsningar för att förbättra säkerheten i de svenska elnäten och övrig infrastruktur."
