Odense University Hospital Odense University Hospital Odense University Hospital (OUH) is the largest and most specialized hospital in Southern Denmark. In terms of beds it is also the largest hospital unit in the whole country. OUH is both Odense's and Funen's largest single workplace (Odense Municipality employs significantly more, but they are spread over many addresses). It has a budget of 835 million Euro and has 11.000 employees. OUH acts as a local and acute hospital in the northern part of Funen, but takes patients from all over Denmark, as it has highly specialized units within hand replantation surgery and special neuro-radiological intervention.
