PROTOCOL CONCERNING HEALTH CARE

ARTICLE 2

(1) When a resident of either Party needs immediate medical treatment during his temporary stay in the territory of the other Party, he shall be entitled, on production of valid documentation, to receive such medical treatment as is considered for clinical reasons to be immediately necessary, on terms no less favourable than apply to a person ordinarily resident in that territory. The authorities of that territory shall bear all costs arising therefrom apart from charges normally paid by residents of that territory.

(2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not apply to a resident of the one territory who goes to the territory of the other Party for the specific purpose of obtaining medical treatment under this Protocol unless the person seeking treatment is a member of the crew or passenger on any ship, vessel or aircraft travelling to or from or diverted to the territory of one of the Parties and the need for the treatment arose during the voyage or flight.
