About the exhibition

”Genetic tests and toothbrushes. How healthcare became communal” (in Danish "Gentests og tandbørster. Hvordan sundhed blev fælles") tells the story of the origin of health insurance, the dental care programme in schools and the national prevention programmes over 150 years. Visitors are involved in the exhibition and have to take a position on current dilemmas faced by the Danish healthcare system – among other things using a miniature health insurance card to choose what should be prioritised.
