"Many hospitals do not regard
dialysis treatment as an emergency form of treatment and may therefore deny dialysis-dependent travellers the opportunity to undergo such treatment at their dialysis units.
Children, parents or young people in families where someone is dialysis-dependent are often very keen to travel. They work and are given holiday-time, but they are unable to go on ordinary tours. For such people, going abroad is an international issue and, if the national authorities do not do anything to help, their hopes lie with the EU as an organisation. Even if it is not possible to intervene on a purely legal level, there may be other options for calling attention to the need to increase the provision of dialysis facilities during holiday periods in the Member States. For example, more prominence could be given to hospitals which make efforts to provide such facilities, or attractive European prizes could perhaps be announced for those which take the relevant measures."@en1
