"The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) can be used to cover any necessary medical treatment due to either an accident or illness within the European Economic Area (EEA).
The EHIC entitles the holder to state-provided medical treatment within the country they are visiting."

It's a patch up job ONLY. Just checked, if you need a major operation,your heart packs in, you stroke and it could cost you a leg !

Facts my dear, always check first before posting.
