How does the Danish healthcare system really work? When should you call 1813? Can you get a second opinion? And what happens if you show up at the ER?

In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek and Brooke welcome back Emma Grint, Dr. Mum-for-Kids, to answer your listener questions about healthcare in Denmark.

We cover:

• Visitors’ access to healthcare in Denmark
• Emergency vs. non-emergency care (112 vs. 1813)
• How to get a second opinion
• Changing your GP (family doctor)
• Wait times and specialist referrals
• What’s covered under universal healthcare in Denmark
• Mental health and psychiatry waitlists
• Pregnancy and birth in Denmark (midwife-led care, epidurals, C-sections)
• Patient advocacy in the Danish system

If you’re an expat or international living in Denmark, this episode will help you understand your rights, your options, and how to navigate the system with confidence.
