/ DANGDI / DANGDI / DANGDI /Denmark achieves better public health results than the UK. It uses a smaller part of its total economy on healthcare. A report published by CPH Post, Videnskab.dk, and The Conversation UK explains why this happens.
Denmark spends less of its national economy on health services than the UK. However, Denmark spends more money on each individual person. This high per-person spending provides direct support for patient care.
Medical treatment alone does not account for these good health results. Denmark also relies on strong social welfare and disease prevention policies. These combined efforts help keep residents healthy over time.
