“…..The book presents a rich and detailed cross-European analysis of different dimensions that determine the scope and policy of cross-border care: access to health care, benefits and tariffs, quality and safety, patients’ rights, cross-border collaboration and crossborder health care data…..”

 

“….We hope that the book can further inform the political debate on the future of cross-border health care in the EU, a debate that will continue even after the final adoption of a proposed directive in early 2011. Uncertainties surrounding cross-border health care will remain, and new issues are likely to emerge given the constant flow of new European Court of Justice rulings on cross-border health care. We also believe that the transposition and implementation of a directive on cross-border health care in the Member States will benefit from an informed debate in the relevant countries, to which this book can make a contribution…”  Editors
