The authors aimed to provide a useful insight into the obstacles as well as success factors of health care in different border regions. You will find in it several examples of cooperation. Particular focus of the study is put on the advanced cooperation at the Franco-Belgian border, which could serve as a benchmark for others.

The study outlines the gradual development of the existing European agreements and social security and health regulations guaranteeing the right of citizens' access to cross-border healthcare.
