As a foreigner living in Copenhagen, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Copenhagen if they have access to public healthcare in Copenhagen. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Copenhagen, you will have access to public healthcare if you are a resident with a CPR number (Danish personal identification number). The Danish public healthcare system is known for its high quality and efficiency, offering a wide range of services, including general practitioners, specialists, hospitals, and emergency care. Most healthcare services are free of charge or have a minimal fee, as they are funded through taxes. It is important to register with a general practitioner upon receiving your CPR number, as they will be your primary point of contact for healthcare needs and referrals to specialists. Overall, the public healthcare system in Copenhagen is well-regarded and accessible for foreigners who are residents in the country," commented one expat who made the move to Copenhagen, Denmark.
