Lif broadly supportive of report on Danish healthcare

The Danish Pharmaceutical Industry Association, Lif, has submitted its consultation response to the Health Structure Commission's report, which was published in June.

Lif is broadly complimentary of the report in its response, and shares the government and the Health Structure Commission's analysis that the current system does not match the health service's present needs and especially the challenges of the coming years.  

Ida Sofie Jensen, chief executive of the group, said: “It is important to have a strong public healthcare system, where there is easy and quick access as well as time and resources for the individual patient. A healthcare service with high quality, regardless of whether the patient fails something "ordinary" or something that requires specialized efforts, and regardless of where in the country the patient lives.”
