1. Which measures have you put in place in order to enhance the secure functioning of health care (personnel, facilities and medical transport)?

The DRC has adopted a low profile communication strategy for its health clincis for persons with no Danish ID papers. The aim is to allow it to function without attracting controversy. At the same time, the DRC is advocating that health care for persons with no ID should be a service provided by the Danish state.

What strategies has your National Society adopted to promote and implement the HCiD recommendations throughout the country?

2. What concrete actions have you conducted to collect and analyze data related to violence against the wounded and sick, health care personnel and facilities, and medical transport? How did you use this information to develop practical measures to address such violence?
