Healthcare Access in Rural Border Regions. Realizing Patient Rights Across European Borders

Descripción del proyecto

Un estudio más detallado de asistencia sanitaria en las regiones fronterizas rurales y desfavorecidas de Europa

El pilar europeo de derechos sociales propone un acceso inclusivo para todo ciudadano europeo a una asistencia sanitaria oportuna y asequible. Sin embargo, se siguen pasando por alto los problemas específicos y el potencial de cooperación en las regiones fronterizas rurales y desfavorecidas. En el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos HARBOR, se desarrollará un nuevo marco analítico que permitirá a los investigadores unir los conocimientos de la literatura académica en materia de salud comparativa, transnacional y multiescalar y los estudios sobre las interacciones transfronterizas y sus efectos sobre la asistencia sanitaria en las zonas fronterizas rurales y desfavorecidas de Europa. Los datos detallados de cuatro países (Bélgica, Francia, Noruega y Suecia) y de las instituciones de la Unión Europea permitirán obtener nuevas perspectivas comparativas sensibles al género.

Objetivo

The fellowship – Healthcare Access in Rural Border Regions. Realizing Patient Rights Across European Borders (HARBOR) – will launch the first cross-national and multi-scalar study of cross-border interactions and their impact on access to healthcare in rural and disadvantaged border areas in Europe. Developing a novel conceptual framework in which borders and cross-border interactions are an integral part of healthcare territories, the project aims to close the gap in regional studies and social policy literature on the provision of health care in European border regions. Building on in-depth data from four countries (Belgium, France, Norway and Sweden) and from the EU institutions, HARBOR will provide new, gender-sensitive, comparative knowledge about how the EU, national, regional and local authorities can ensure quality health care in disadvantaged, rural regions. The project will develop an original analytic framework which will allow scholars to bridge insights from the scholarly literature in comparative health studies and border studies. Access to timely and affordable healthcare is one of the key principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. The fellowship will produce new knowledge to help make this a reality. The fellowship will identify facilitators of and barriers against cross-border co-operation. The project will additionally make proposals for ways to reconcile territoriality bound social rights and supply planning with cross-border mobility and potential for pooling resource. An experienced researcher (Dr Alban Davesne, France) will collaborate with a centre of gravity for the study of European social policy (Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway) and a leading research centre with international expertise on European health policy (secondment at The European Social Observatory, Belgium) for intersectoral knowledge transfer, career development, and European added value.
