Hospital care includes all medical treatment provided in a hospital in the Member State in which the patient is insured, the name, organisation and financing of that infrastructure being irrelevant for the purposes of classifying such care as hospital care.
Slimnīcas aprūpe ietver visu medicīnisko ārstēšanu dalībvalstī, kurā pacients ir apdrošināts; lai šādu aprūpi klasificētu kā „slimnīcas aprūpi”, nav svarīgs šīs infrastruktūras nosaukums, organizācija un finansēšanas veids.
