# The Social Security (Sweden) Order 1988, Paragraph: Article 2


(1) A resident of the territory of one State who is temporarily in the territory of the other and needs immediate medical treatment shall be provided, on terms no less favourable than those which apply to a resident of that territory, with such medical treatment, including any medicines, as is considered for clinical reasons to be immediately necessary. 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 this Article shall not apply to a resident of one territory who goes to the other territory 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 States and the need for urgent treatment has arisen during the voyage or flight.
