Morten Sodemann

Portrait of Morten Sodemann

A teacher, researcher, debater, and presenter, Morten is employed as the chief physician and clinical professor at the immigrant medicine clinic, which he helped develop in 2008. He received the 2021 Danish Public Health Award for his work with vulnerable people.

Morten and his colleagues have recognized several themes in the healthcare services they co-create: 1) doing what makes sense to the patient-person and professional-person; 2) sorting the often-present chaos; 3) when everything seems to fail, listen even more carefully to the patient-person; 4) in continuity, be willing to become part of the patient-person’s story.

As Morten writes, “We love to blame the strangers, the poor, and the short educated for epidemics. But that is neither fair nor correct. It is not the culture of minorities that is the problem. It is the majority's cultural acceptance of inequality in health as an expression of a weak character that is the problem.”
