Illness and accidents are never welcome visitors on a holiday, but it does 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. See below what to do, if you are unlucky:

To contact the police, fire department, or hospital in an emergency, dial 112.

Emergency medical care is supplied by municipal authorities, and hotel staff members can direct guests to local emergency centres, hospitals, or dental clinics.

Emergency treatment at Danish public hospitals is free. Fees for non-emergency medical services are usually payable in cash, and are reasonable by international standards. 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.
