"As all individuals have equal worth, everybody everywhere should be entitled to free access to effective healthcare."
Karsten Juhl Jørgensen is a medical researcher and professor at the University of Southern Denmark. Jørgensen's research with Cochrane Denmark and the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Odense focuses on mammography, overdiagnosis, and evidence synthesis and screening.
Jørgensen is outspoken on the "overdiagnosis" crisis in Western healthcare: unnecessary treatment and patient anxiety caused by early screening and an overemphasis on preventative care.
