The International Health Community at Hospital + Innovation Congress 2015

In the next ten years, Denmark will invest more than €5.6 billion in 16 new hospital projects. These include new greenfield projects as well as expansion of existing capacity. The International Health Community at Hospital + Innovation Congress 2015 is an open invitation to the international health community to join the discussion and to co-create innovative solutions to current issues under this year's themes, patient involvement and increased efficiency. At the congress, you are invited to learn about Danish perspectives of building hospitals and to contribute to future healthcare solutions.

The Hospital + Innovation Congress 2015, organised by Healthcare DENMARK is part of the Week of Health & INNovation (WHINN). WHINN is the first of its kind; a festival that consist of conferences, events, innovation and business activities, which are brought together in one week all within health and innovation. WHINN brings you inspiration and insight in the newest research and international trends, and gathers CEOs, end-users, clinicians and decision makers.

The Danish healthcare system i.e. hospital service, including psychiatry as well as health insurance, general practitioners and specialists, is administered by the five regions in Denmark. The basic principles of the Danish healthcare system are:

  • A public healthcare system
  • Free and equal access for all citizens
  • Freedom of choice of hospital
  • Mainly financed through general taxes
  • GP/family doctor as gatekeeper for the hospitals

Over the next ten years, the Danish Regions will invest DKK 41.4 billion in the modernization of the Danish hospital sector. The main principles of the new hospital structure consist of centralization in terms of reduction in the number of hospitals and reduction of hospitals with highly specialized functions and emergency departments, and decentralization in terms of strengthening of the pre-hospital effort, strengthening the role of the GPs and co-operation with the municipalities.
