European Union Member States are  facing the same issues: the need to provide quality health care, tailored to the population, accessible to all and in a context of limited public resources. Hospitals play an important and specific role in patient management, training of health professionals, and research. Their constant adjustment to the social and economic context as well as to technological advances takes the shape of reforms to their type of governance and provision of care.

This book studies the major changes in the hospital sector using a cross-sectional analysis of 27 Member States’ health systems. The analysis is structured to illustrate common trends in hospital systems over the past years, while showing their diversity from in terms of distribution of powers, funding, status, organisation of care. In the last part, the book examines the influence of the EU on hospitals and healthcare systems.

Hospitals in the 27 Member States of the European Union was written in close collaboration by HOPE and DEXIA.
