lpv:translated text	"Access to health care is a right of all EU citizens and providing equal access for all to high-quality medical services is a core task of the Member States’ public authorities. I support this document and agree that it covers the most acute health-care problems. Undoubtedly, both at EU level and in the individual Member States, we should concentrate more on long-term health protection. This is particularly important in the case of the elderly and people with physical or mental disabilities and home-based health care. In view of the shortage of carers and the appreciation of the importance of the services they provide, it is necessary to improve their working conditions as well as ensure that carers receive high-quality training. The Member States should respond to the European Parliament’s call to guarantee patients access to lifesaving drugs, even if they are expensive, in order to guarantee the universal right to health. The Member States should implement the EU’s health strategy without delay. This would encourage and facilitate the provision of international health-care services, the free movement of health-care professionals and patients as well as strengthen cooperation between private and public bodies. Most importantly, with the implementation of the EU’s health strategy, people throughout the EU would have access to quality health care."@en1
