Small - but positive - increase in costs for hospital medicine in Denmark

27 August 2024

Spending on hospital medicine in Denmark increased by just under 6% in the first half of 2024, compared to the first six months of the year in 2023.

The growth is spread over quarters by 11.5% in the first three months, while in the second quarter it increased by 1.6%, noted the Danish pharma trade group Lif in a website posting.
