Project Summary:

The SI-N-CRO project addresses a shared challenge in the healthcare sector within the program area, aiming to promote and strengthen collaboration between institutions and eliminate inequalities in the healthcare provided to stroke patients. A unified stroke rehabilitation service in the cross-border area of the Coastal-Karst Region and Istria County is of critical importance. The interstate agreement between the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and the Government of the Republic of Croatia on cross-border cooperation in providing emergency medical assistance and hospital treatment, as well as the Administrative Agreement on Cooperation in Emergency Medical Assistance and Hospital Treatment (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 90, Ljubljana, 16 August 2023), emphasizes the urgency of measures to address inequalities in care on both sides of the border and to ensure a unified and state-of-the-art form of rehabilitation for patients.
