Abstract

The Danish universal tax-based health system has effective provision of quality care and high patient satisfaction with low levels of unmet health needs. However, it faces coordination and fragmentation challenges due to its decentralized structure and the provision of care by three different sectors: regions, municipalities, and the private sector, including general practitioners and specialists. Ensuring coordination and continuity of care has been an ongoing focus area for policy discussions and reforms; however, it remains an issue of concern.
