Healthcare System
Denmark citizens have access to universal healthcare funded by income tax. The national government regulates, plans and assesses healthcare. Regional government provides most of the healthcare services, while municipalities are responsible nursing homes, home care, school health services, disease prevention, rehabilitation and non-specialized long-term care. Citizens must register with a general practitioner who will refer patients to other specializations according to need. The CPR-number is an unique electronic personal identifier of Denmark permanent residents and configures an important tool to connect data across registries and databases.
