What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Member States to make better use of bilateral agreements and to set up cooperation arrangements to remove barriers to cross-border healthcare
• Stresses the need for an online platform with relevant stakeholders to encourage exchanges of best practice and discussions on cross-border healthcare
• Underlines that the EU’s cohesion policy invests in health as a key asset for regional development, social convergence and regional competitiveness in order to reduce economic and social disparities
