Brian Goldman: 加拿大面临初级保健资源短缺的问题，许多人无法及时获得家庭医生服务。而丹麦的初级保健体系普及率高，超过98%的居民拥有全科医生，且就医非常便捷，这与加拿大形成了鲜明对比。丹麦的经验值得我们学习。 Emily Ritchie: 丹麦的医疗保障体系是我的家庭选择移居哥本哈根的重要原因之一。在丹麦，一旦获得CPR号码，就会被分配到一位家庭医生，这让我感到非常安心。与加拿大相比，丹麦的医疗体系更加高效，能够及时满足患者的需求。 Carolyn Berard: 丹麦的医疗保健系统将患者放在首位，这表明西方国家完全有可能拥有足够的医生来满足人口需求。在丹麦，我一拿到CPR号码就被分配了医生，这让我觉得非常安心，也让我相信其他国家也可以做到这一点。

We travelled to the Scandinavian country to see how the Danish system works for patients and doctors. The differences are startling.
