Danish primary care: a focus on general practice in the Danish healthcare system

Denmark’s primary healthcare system, centered on general practice, operates within a decentralized structure supported by public funding. Recent reforms focus on shifting care from secondary to primary levels to improve accessibility and coordination. Key challenges include workforce retention, integrated care, and sustainable financing, with ongoing efforts aimed at enhancing quality and system sustainability.
