National Health Care System

‌An introduction to the Danish healthcare system and information about the places you can go to for examination and treatment if you fall ill. You can also read about the free preventative examinations you and your family can have.

Everybody who is a permanent resident in Denmark can use the Danish healthcare system freely. Most examinations and treatments are free of charge. All permanent residents will receive a national health insurance card from their local authority. The card works as an identity card and must be presented at all visits to doctors, emergency rooms and hospitals.
