"This paper explores the structure of cross-border health purchasing between Austria and Hungary and determines the size of this phenomenon as well as the barriers to a further increase. Austrian patients may receive health care treatment in Hungary in three different ways. First, patients may receive benefits in the context of the European Community Regulations 1408/71 and 574/72 (Category I patients). Second, outside those regulatory structures, Austrian patients travel to Hungary to receive medical treatment, especially dental treatment, and then seek reimbursement from their Austrian insurance (Category II patients). Third, some patients receive medical treatment in Hungary outside both schemes (Category III patients). There are about 42,500 Category I patients per year; and 58,000 Category II patients world-wide per year. An unknown but supposedly greater number of patients travel to Hungary to receive mainly dental treatment and cosmetic surgery (Category III). Most health actors in both Austria and Hungary do not regard cross-border purchasing of health services as having cost-saving effects. They put forward major legal, institutional, political, and psychological barriers, which inhibit public and private Austrian providers, to facilitate trade in health care and which inhibit individual patients to realize cost savings through capitalizing on lower health care prices in Hungary. Therefore, for the time being, trade in health care and patient mobility between Austria and Hungary is a circumscribed phenomenon in terms of quantities, and it will most probably remain so in the near future.

A medical measure influences the physical and mental integrity of the affected people. The right of determination is also part of a person's personality. The individual can exercise his right of self determination only when its decision conditions and justifies medical practice. Is an adolescent due to an illness or disability not able to excersise decisions, these have to be made by a representative of legal transactions - an agent - or taken by a legal representative - a supervisor. In this study, the different representation schemes on health matters are presented.

S'interrogeant sur ce qu'il est d'usage d'appeler "l'anthropologie médicale chez soi" (expression dont il convient de souligner la complexité épistémologique), l'auteur examine les récents développements que connaît depuis quelques années cette discipline. La mise en regard des recherches conduites dans les sociétés occidentales et de celles conduites dans les sociétés dites "exotiques" vise d'une part à montrer ce que les premières ont reçu en héritage, et d'autre part, ce que, en retour, elles ont apporté à l'anthropologie médicale dans son ensemble, en contribuant à affirmer sa spécificité disciplinaire et en faisant évoluer la réflexion sur des questions d'ordre anthropologique général. As she considers what is called to-day "Medical Anthropology at Home" (an epistemologically complex expression), the author examines the recent developments of this discipline these last years. The comparison of the researches led in western societies and of those led in so-called "exotic" societies, aims at showing, on the one hand, what the first have inherited from the second, and on the other hand, what they have, in turn, brought to medical anthropology as a whole by contributing to assert its disciplinary specificity and by helping to the development of the reflection concerning issues in general social anthropology.
