About this statute

This provision says the health law sets the framework for Denmark’s healthcare system, including patient access, non-discrimination, and duties for regions, municipalities, and providers. The minister may set detailed rules on benefit coverage, and eligible seafarers and accompanying spouses/children have a right to benefits. The municipal council and Udbetaling Danmark also have duties and powers about health cards and benefit decisions. Section 16 says informed consent can be written, oral, or implied in some cases, and sets out who must be informed and who may consent for minors or incapacitated patients. Section 20 sets rules for patient self-determination in special cases, including consent, blood refusal, treatment testaments, restraint, and reporting. Section 52 lets patients decide how certain biological material and genetic information may be used, requires registration of that decision, and gives the minister power to set detailed rules.
