The healthcare system operates across three political and administrative levels: the state, the regions and the municipalities (national, regional and local levels).

  • The state holds the overall regulatory and supervisory functions in health and elderly care.
  • The five regions are primarily responsible for the hospitals, the general practitioners (GPs) and for psychiatric care.
  • The 98 municipalities are responsible for a number of primary healthcare services as well as for elderly care.
