The National Board of Health is the supreme health care authority in Denmark.
We assist the minister for Health and Prevention within the administration of the health care service. We also advise the ministry for Health and Prevention as well as other authorities and inform citizens on specific health issues.
It is our task to set the best possible frames within the health care system for the prevention and treatment of illness, suffering and functional limitations for the individual. We follow health conditions through monitoring and evaluation and endeavour to be at the cutting edge of knowledge and experiences.
