The European Association of Health Law, the initiator of the EAHL conference, aims to strengthen the health and human rights interface throughout Europe, and to serve as an indispensable source of advice and guidance for the future of health law and policies in Europe.
This year was the first time that the conference of the EAHL was held in one of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, it was an honour for Prague and for the Czech organising committee under the lead of Dr. Lukáš Prudil from the Masaryk University to welcome EAHL conference, which was bringing together health lawyers from around the Europe.
Topics of the conference were designed to respond to emerging issues in the recent development of health law. Taking into account the fact that in recent decades cross-border population movement has significantly increased, both inside and outside of EU, it is on the table now to discuss the availability and quality of providing health care to these people.
The 2 day long scientific program offered contributions devoted to patient’s rights to cross-border health care; equity in access to health care for disadvantages groups and more.
