As a foreigner living in Aarhus, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Aarhus if they have access to public healthcare in Aarhus. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Aarhus, you will have access to public healthcare if you are a resident with a CPR number (Danish personal identification number). The Danish healthcare system is known for its high-quality services, and it offers a wide range of medical treatments. Public healthcare in Denmark is funded through taxes, which means that most services are free or available at a low cost for residents. This includes access to general practitioners, specialists, hospitals, and emergency care. However, dental care and some prescription medications may require out-of-pocket payments. Overall, the public healthcare system in Aarhus is efficient, well-organized, and provides a high standard of care for its residents," wrote a member who made the move to Aarhus, Denmark.
