Obstáculos à mobilidade de pacientes nas áreas fronteiras do MERCOSUL: uma tipologia

Abstract

This article identifies the bottlenecks or restrictions that affect the mobility of patients in the border areas of the founding States of MERCOSUR: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The inputs prepared in the framework of the action “Cross-border Cooperation in health with emphasis on facilitating patient mobility” proposed by the MERCOSUR Social Institute (ISM) to the Program for the strengthening the social cohesion in Latin America, known as EUROsociAL + are key elements. As a result of this inter-institutional collaboration, a typology of obstacles to patient mobility in MERCOSUR is proposed.
