Dear RHN members and friends,

we are pleased to share with you the news item just published on the study visit in Lower Austria on cross-border health care! 

On 20–22 September 2017, the Lower Austria region hosted a study visit entitled “Cross-border health care” in the city of Sankt Pölten. The main objective of the study visit was to facilitate an in-depth exchange on the topic of the cross-border health care, introduce current related programmes and large-scale innovative projects in Lower Austria, and provide an opportunity for sharing ideas and practical approaches in this field within RHN.

The event was really successful. Once again, this study visits format – a combination of seminars, workshops and visits to health facilities – proved to be an excellent laboratory for public health innovation!
