Crans-Montana invoices Swiss hospitals for 1.6 million for the treatment of Italian wounded

The bill from Swiss hospitals for the care received by young Italians injured in the fire that occurred in the Le Constellation restaurant in Crans Montana is 1.5 million Swiss francs, approximately 1.6 million euros. This is what Rts, the Swiss public radio and television broadcaster, reports.

"A total of 12 Italian victims were treated in Swiss hospitals after the fire, for more or less long periods. According to the information collected by RTS, the overall cost of their care amounts to approximately 1.5 million francs" we read on the channel's website.

The agreement between European countries on healthcare costs abroad

A bill that is fueling controversy. Already in April, the Italian government declared that it would not pay these costs.

"However - underlines Rts - an agreement between European countries provides that, in the case of treatment abroad, the costs are borne by the patient's country of residence".
