European Health Insurance Card

This procedure concerns the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which provides access to healthcare during temporary stays in EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. It ensures citizens receive necessary medical treatment under the same conditions and at the same cost as people insured in that country.

The EHIC affects all EU citizens and residents travelling within the EU/EEA/Switzerland. It simplifies access to healthcare services, ensuring continuity of care and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for essential medical needs abroad.
