This article discusses the significance of the Directive 2011/24/EU on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare for the protection of individual patients' rights in the Netherlands by describing how its provisions are implemented in Dutch health law. The responsible Dutch authorities take the view that most of the Directive's provisions and requirements are covered in existing Dutch law. Implementation of the Directive would only require adaptations to national legislation with regard to the establishment of a national contact point for cross-border healthcare and the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in another Member State. This article looks into the question of how far the Dutch law meets the requirements of the Directive in relation to the individual patients' rights addressed in this special issue of the European Journal of Health Law.
本文通过描述欧盟第2011/24/EU号指令《关于患者跨境医疗保健权利的适用》的条款在荷兰卫生法中的实施方式，探讨了该指令对保护荷兰患者个人权利的意义。荷兰相关当局认为，该指令的大部分条款和要求已涵盖在荷兰现行法律中。实施该指令仅需在国家立法方面进行调整，以设立跨境医疗保健国家联络点，并承认在另一个成员国开具的医疗处方。本文探讨了在《欧洲卫生法杂志》这一特刊中所涉及的个人患者权利方面，荷兰法律在多大程度上符合该指令的要求。
