HEATHCARE EUROPA: DENMARK : PRIVATE PRIMARY CARE

Danish primary care market to open in 2014 Denmark is set to massively liberalise its primary care sector in 2014. This comes after a ground-breaking DKK 200m (€26.82m) a year contract tendered out for primary and outpatient care services was successfully tendered by the Sjaelland region in May 2013 and won by Aleris. Is Denmark set to follow Sweden in liberalising its healthcare system, creating a huge new Nordic market? Falck thinks so: the ambulance provider has just acquired medical recruitment company Skandinavisk Halsovard. We talk to CEO of Falck’s healthcare services division Jan Steenhard, Skandinavisk’s continuing Director Borje Eriksson and former Global Health Partner and Capio CEO Per Batelson.
