Chronic diseases and multimorbidity are the greatest healthcare challenges facing us today, not only in Denmark but worldwide.
A new edition of this paper is coming soon. Three years of new data, new national initiatives and new Danish solutions for managing chronic diseases.
The 2023 edition below remains available until then.
By 2030, the number of people in Denmark aged 80 and over will have risen by almost 60%. The ageing population combined with vastly improved treatment of diseases like diabetes and cancer has dramatically increased the number of Danes living with one or more chronic diseases. We hope that this report will provide valuable insights into the Danish approach to addressing chronic diseases and multimorbidity and inspire other countries to act towards improving health for all.
From 5–10 November, the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), the Embassy of Denmark in China and Healthcare Denmark will bring 12 Danish companies together at the Danish Health Pavilion at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai.
CIIE will serve as the official physical launch platform for Healthcare Denmark’s new publication, Chronic Diseases – How Denmark Manages a Defining Health Challenge. A China-specific insert will connect Danish experiences with Chinese healthcare priorities and provide a starting point for further dialogue and collaboration.
CIIE is one of the world’s largest trade fairs and a high-profile platform for engaging Chinese authorities, hospitals, decision-makers and private-sector stakeholders. With health technology, chronic disease management, prevention and healthy aging high on China’s agenda, the pavilion provides participating companies with opportunities to strengthen relationships and explore new market collaboration.
Developed in close dialogue with participating companies, the pavilion will present a shared Danish story under the theme “Solutions by Denmark – Better health through collaboration.” DI is leading the organization of the pavilion together with the Danish Embassy, while Healthcare Denmark is contributing the overarching healthcare narrative and communication concept.
