Denmark is allocating DKK 200 million to expand home-based treatment.
The Danish government, Danish Regions and KL have agreed a new arrangement under the 2024 health reform, supporting treatment in or close to patients’ homes.
The funding will focus on four areas, including:
-
Assisted dialysis at home in all health councils from early 2028.
-
More IV treatment at home, where clinically relevant and safe.
-
Strengthening acute nursing as regions assume responsibility at the turn of the year.
-
Wider home-treatment initiatives through the health councils.
The parties have also agreed a framework for further work on a patient right to digital health services. The proposed right would apply when patients want a digital service and it is clinically meaningful.
In addition, prehabilitation-training and patient education before major treatment or surgery-will be rolled out nationally from 2027.
The agreement follows the new healthcare reform taking effect on 1 January 2027.
