In December 1996, the Danish government adopted a national strategy for health research.
Health research is the foundation of public health and the treatment of disease.
The national strategy sets the goals, priorities and framework for the coordination of health research. The strategy should compromise the foundation for development in health research which can meet the challenges, needs and demands of the future. The strategy evolved through an open process, the researchers and users themselves having played a decisive role in its formulation.
