Denmark’s national health system provides universal, largely free care to its 5.9 million residents through a tax-funded structure operating across state, regional, and municipal levels. While health spending is among the highest in the EU, with strong public investment and recent reforms targeting hospital optimization, mental health, and facility upgrades, gaps remain in coverage for prescription medicines and dental care, leading to notable out-of-pocket costs. Key ongoing challenges include ensuring coordinated, continuous care, retaining healthcare workers—especially nurses—and addressing long-term structural and technological needs through dedicated commissions and digital health innovation.
