Italy Travel Guide

Health Care in Italy




Despite reputations and considerable prejudices even on most Italians, Italy is actually a country to expect for affordable health care with the best standards of medical assistance. Italian doctors are well-trained in the schools and very passionate about their profession, and their private hospitals are comparable with any country. However, there are some state hospitals in Italy that are very patchy, providing comfort way below what most northern Europeans and Americans expect. These hospitals are normally found in southern Italy. To stay away with this, expatriates and Italians alike prefer to consider a private health insurance to generally cover the expensive costs of hospitalizations and surgeries just to have the comfort needed and to avoid waiting on long lists that are normally common on most state systems.

The national health system of Italy, called the Servizio Sanitario Nazioanale, is the branch that provides inexpensive health care to all the European citizens. Covered are in-patient treatments that include tests, medications, as well as surgeries during hospitalization, family doctor visits, medical assistance that are provided by paediatricians, and other specialists. The health system also shoulders of drugs, medicines, out-patient treatments, as well as dental treatments. Regardless of where one comes from, it is imperative that he/she should have a health insurance form the moment he/she arrives in Italy. Without it, issuance of a permesso di soggiorno is not possible.
