New book on cross-border health care
28-03-2011
Cross-border health care has become a much more prominent phenomenon in the European Union. When in need of medical treatment, patients increasingly act as informed consumers who claim the right to choose their own providers, including those beyond borders. This new book explores such trends and also looks at the legal framework for cross-border care as well as examining some of the uncertainties surrounding it.
