On Aug. 21, the Lithuanian government agreed with the proposal to relocate European Union directives’ provisions, which were to increase the opportunities for people to get medical treatment in the European Union and in the European Economic Area (EEA). At the same time, the citizens of foreign countries were to get the medical treatment in Lithuania.

Such changes should come into force on Oct. 25. As soon as they are effective, Lithuania’s citizens can get medical treatment in the European Union and in the EEA and all expenses will be compensated for by the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund.
