Danish healthcare
The healthcare in Denmark is rated as number four by EuroHealth Consumer Index 2018.
The Danish healthcare system is particularly distinguished in the areas of patient rights and information.
The Medicines Statistics Register (LSR) contains information on all sales and deliveries of medicines. Both what is sold in the pharmacy and in the stores, and what is delivered by the doctor or in the hospital. The Pharmaceutical Statistics Register is unique worldwide, as it is the only register of drug consumption that covers an entire country's population over so many years. In 2018, the industry spent $ 11,5 billion. DKK on research in Denmark. This makes Denmark the country that invests most in private drug research and development (only surpassed by Switzerland). And this makes the pharmaceutical industry the industry in Denmark that is most research-heavy. In 2018, we had exports of $ 100 billion DKK.
In 2017, $ 183 billion DKK went to the health care system. This corresponds to 16,4% of total public expenditure. In popular terms, this means that for every DKK 1.000 you pay in taxes, DKK 164 goes to health care.

Today’s challenges
There will be more senior citizens and the number of multi-illnesses will increas. This will cause a significantly rise in the cost of pharmaceuticals over the next years.
Another challenges, that has already been seeing, is a tightening of access to healthcare for the Danish patients. There is only acces to their own GP, or to the hospital.
This has already caused a higher demands on health care and at increased pressure on the healthcare system.
This in turn has made access to visits the doctors more difficult and less.
