This article aims to reflect on the enlargement of patients’ rights in Europe and the future effects of the application of the provisions of EU Directive 2011/24 on cross-border healthcare. These new rules, in fact, if properly implemented, could contribute to a more responsible management of health care, to counter the inefficiency of the health facilities, to contain the phenomenon of waiting lists and to allow a more concrete freedom of care. But they can fully achieve their goal only if really allowing all patients (regardless of income level, social standing, etc.) to be able to enjoy their effects.

Abstract
This article aims to reflect on the enlargement of patients’ rights in Europe and the future effects of the application of the provisions of EU Directive 2011/24 on cross-border healthcare. These new rules, in fact, if properly implemented, could contribute to a more responsible management of health care, to counter the inefficiency of the health facilities, to contain the phenomenon of waiting lists and to allow a more concrete freedom of care. But they can fully achieve their goal only if really allowing all patients (regardless of income level, social standing, etc.) to be able to enjoy their effects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
