Central Denmark

The Central Denmark Region extends from the North Sea to the Kattegat, including coastal dunes, inland heaths, forests, lakes, and nineteen municipalities.

The region emerged through the 2007 Danish municipal reform, which consolidated traditional counties into five administrative regions and reduced municipalities from 271 to 98.

The Regional Council holds monthly meetings in Viborg, where 41 elected members make decisions about healthcare, education, transportation, and environmental matters.

Nine hospitals, eight psychiatric departments, and numerous general practitioners serve the 1.3 million residents across the region's 13,000 square kilometers.

The region maintains a gross budget of 28.9 billion Danish Kroner and employs 30,000 people to manage public services and healthcare facilities.
