Navigating Denmark’s healthcare system as an international can feel confusing, surprising, and occasionally hilarious, but it doesn’t have to. Derek and Brooke sit down with Dr. Emma, a British pediatrician in Copenhagen, to unpack how the system really works for internationals. They cover why the GP is your main gateway into care, why appointments can feel too short, and how cultural communication styles can lead to misunderstandings. Emma explains why some treatments seem missing, breaks down the logic behind antibiotics and screenings, and shares practical tips for advocating for yourself without feeling like a hypochondriac.


This is part 1 of a 2 part conversation. Today’s episode focuses on the general system and the everyday realities of navigating medical care as an international, while part 2, coming Thursday, dives into pediatric care, emergency experiences, and the digital tools you will definitely need.
