Abstract:
Scandinavian countries have one of the best health services, as well as quality of life, in all Europe. It is often unknown why this is the case, with the language barrier being one of the most frequent and difficult to overcome. A summary of the Danish health system is presented in order to know its main virtues and use its tools to eventually make improvements in our national health system. Many of them will not be able to be used due to the different management type, but some of them could be performed allowing us to improve and become better physicians. This presentation can be used as a reference for those who are training in Primary Care and who wish to do an external rotation in a Scandinavian country.
