CROSS-BORDER SUPPORT FOR FRENCH PATIENTS

https://bit.ly/2O47UYO

Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland

made more than 100 beds

available for seriously ill patients

from the Grand Est Region in France,

which was particularly badly hit by

the pandemic.

SHG-Kliniken Völklingen, in Germany,

admitted COVID-19 patients

from France who needed critical

support. This hospital, based in the

Greater Region spanning Germany,

Belgium, France and Luxembourg,

is a beneficiary of several EU-supported

Interreg cross-border

cooperation projects, such as

SANTRANSFOR and COSAN.

The Luxembourg Hospital Federation,

which currently counts

10 Luxembourg-based hospitals

and specialised clinics, mobilised

its members to receive patients

from France and the Greater

Region. The Cerdanya hospital,

situated on the border between

Spain and France, treated COVID-

19 patients from both countries.
