General information:
Illness and accidents are never welcome visitors on a holiday, but they do happen! In Denmark help is always at hand and you don't have to pay for medical treatment in a hospital if matters should take a turn to the worse. It is a prerequisite of obtaining free treatment that you did not come to Denmark with a view of having the treatment. See below what to do, if you are unfortunate.

The right of receiving free acute treatment is discontinued when you are considered well enough to be transported to your home country. Home transportation will be at your own expense.

The following persons are entitled to basic medical services during their stay:

1. Persons residing in a northern country
2. Citizens of EU-countries, carrying an EU-medical card, issued by the local health care authorities of the individual EU-countries or in Switzerland
3. British citizens from Great Britain and Northern Ireland with an UK-passport which states on page 2: British Citizen
4. Citizens from Gibraltar with an UK-passport which states on page 2: British Dependent Territories Ciziten
5. Persons with an UK-passport which states on page 2: British Subject Who Has the Right of Abode in the United Kingdom
Persons listed under 3.-5. must have a national insurance card issued in the United Kingdom (UK) according to the EU-rules.

Special rules apply to members of the Faroese health insurance B, and British citizens residing in the Isle of Man.

Tourist from any other country than the above mentioned, including the Channel Islands, are not covered by the Danish Health Insurance. However, see above under General Information.
  
Emergency medical care is supplied by municipal authorities, and hotel or tourist staff members can direct tourists to local doctors, emergency centres, hospitals, or dental clinics. Emergency treatment at Danish public hospitals is free. See above.

Fees for non-emergency medical services are usually payable in cash, and are reasonable by international standards.

Medicin
If you take prescribed medication, you should bring a supply large enough to last throughout the trip since some medicines available in your home country may not be on the market in Denmark. Please note that the supply must not exceed a quantity of 14 days' use if you are travelling from a non-Schengen country, and 30 days if you are travelling from a Schengen country. Documentation of necessity of the remedy may be required upon entry. For more information, contact Danish diplomatic representatives.
