Switzerland to cover treatment costs for Italian fire victims from Crans-Montana
Published
Switzerland will cover the costs of medical treatment for twelve fire victims from Crans-Montana. The victims are insured in Italy. The total amount comes to 1.5 million francs.
The injured are Italian nationals and received medical care after the fire in the Valais winter resort. Because they are insured in Italy, the treatment costs would normally have to be borne by the Italian insurer. Under the agreement, Switzerland will initially cover these costs itself.
The arrangement is intended to help those affected without them having to worry about financing their treatment. Further details on the settlement between the two countries have not yet been announced.
The case shows how closely medical cooperation between Switzerland and Italy is linked. For many people in the border region, this cooperation is important in everyday life.
