Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2011/24/EU of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare, hereinafter referred to as ‘the cross-border directive’ was established in order to improve the functioning of one of the basic principles of the united Europe - free movement of services. The cross-border directive was introduced to realise the European Union's actions aiming at ensuring a high level of health care.
