"It is a strong signal that we are sending out to our fellow citizens by proposing a system in which patients’ needs will have priority. The European Parliament has maintained a united and firm position with regard to this genuine recognition of patients’ needs in Europe, which represents a first step towards strengthening their right to access safe and high quality healthcare in Europe. Under the new rules, European citizens will be able to be reimbursed for treatment received in another Member State, insofar as the type and cost of treatment would normally be covered in their own country. The authorities will have the power to demand that patients request prior authorisation for treatment requiring an overnight hospital stay or specialised healthcare, and any refusal will have to be clearly justified. Seeking healthcare abroad could, in particular, benefit patients who are on long waiting lists, or those who are unable to find specialised healthcare. We must now ensure that the implementation of this directive is overseen properly and that it yields real healthcare results for patients in Europe."@en1
