With a view to support its analysis and forthcoming initiatives, the European Commission asked the national experts of the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) to describe the extent of inequalities in access to healthcare in each country, an analysis of the country-specific challenges and to provide a set of good practices recommendations. The report, published in November, describes the main features of health systems enabling access, examines the main challenges in inequalities in access to healthcare identified in the 35 countries under scrutiny, identifies the trend in the national policies to address these challenges, and briefly discusses the indicators available at national and European level on access to healthcare. This section describes a brief summary of the report, which can be found at: https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=738&langId=en&pubId=8152&furtherPubs=yes.
