The story

The Danish Medical Association began in town of Korsør on the island of Zealand, on September 1, 1857, after many informal meetings over the prior 6 years attended by many "provincial doctors" from around the nation. According to an article published in the British Medical Journal in 1957, "The D.M.A.'s present objects, as revised in 1935,

are (1) to unite Danish doctors in watching over the interests of the profession, and (2) to act as the organ by which the medical profession exerts its influence on problems affecting the community in general."
