Rigshospitalet is Denmark’s leading highly specialised hospital and a central hub for advanced patient care, research, innovation and education. With roots dating back to 1757, the hospital today covers almost the entire spectrum of medical specialties and receives patients from across Denmark for highly specialised treatment.
As Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet combines clinical expertise with extensive research and education activities. The hospital brings together thousands of healthcare professionals, researchers and students, providing a strong environment for translating new knowledge and innovative solutions into improved patient care.
With 40 departments and nearly 14,000 employees, Rigshospitalet plays a key role in the Danish healthcare system and works closely with national and international partners to advance healthcare and research.
Its location at Blegdamsvej places the hospital at the heart of Copenhagen’s health and life science ecosystem, in close proximity to the University of Copenhagen and the Mærsk Tårnet. This creates a unique setting where healthcare, research, education and innovation come together.
