Danish healthcare system

The Danish healthcare system is publicly funded and primarily financed through taxes, ensuring that medical services are mostly free for residents at the point of use. It offers comprehensive coverage, including general practitioners, hospitals, mental health, and preventive care. Patients typically register with a general practitioner (GP), who acts as the first point of contact and coordinates specialist services. The system emphasizes equality, providing high-quality care regardless of income or social status. Funding comes from national and local governments, enabling access to essential health services efficiently and universally across Denmark.
