Information about the Danish healthcare system and insurance system.

Denmark is generally known for its comprehensive healthcare system, which provides free and universal healthcare. Healthcare is publicly funded and accessible to all citizens and legal residents of Denmark. In Denmark, the healthcare system consists of so-called 'health posts' or 'sundhedscenters', which are regional health centers managed by municipalities and providing healthcare services. These centers provide primary care and are managed by a team of general practitioners, nurses and other healthcare professionals. In Denmark, citizens generally do not have to pay any individual insurance to benefit from healthcare services. Instead, health care is financed from taxes and everyone has equal access. However, in Denmark additional health insurance is also offered in some cases. For example, private health insurance may offer more options and services beyond primary care. These insurances are offered by private health insurance companies and provide some benefits, but generally depend on the individual preferences of citizens or resident aliens. Healthcare in Denmark generally includes hospital treatments, prescriptions, medical examinations and other medical services. The healthcare system offers a variety of services such as emergencies, births, pregnancy care, child health, vaccinations, psychological assistance, rehabilitation and more. The healthcare system in Denmark is considered a model of providing high-quality and comprehensive healthcare services. Both citizens and resident foreigners have equal access to healthcare and generally rank highly for healthcare globally.
