Students living on one side of the border, but attending school on the other side and playing sports at a competitive level, cannot use the sports medicine service that is much closer to their school and training place, but due to the inflexibility of social security system, they have to travel to the doctor where they live, even if it is in another settlement.
This proven to be not entirely the case, since the relevant legislation allows that if a competitor of foreign nationality competes in the colors of the given country, the necessary health screenings can be carried out free of charge in the country of the registered sports club (and not necessarily in the country of residence). However, it may happen that there is no sports doctor in the given settlement, so the athletes are instead directed to the nearest sports doctor in their place of residence for examination and obtaining the necessary certificate.
