Private hospitals and clinics in Italy are very good, but are expensive if you do not have medical insurance. The public health system is instead managed provincially by ASL (Azienda Sanitaria Locale) and can provide information on how to find the nearest hospital, clinic or any other medical service you might require. First Aid Service (Pronto Soccorso) with a doctor on hand is found at airports, ports, railway stations and hospitals. If you need an ambulance, you can call 118 from anywhere in Italy.
Citizens of EU countries are covered for emergency medical treatment in Italy on presentation of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which replaced the E111 from 1 January 2006. Treatment in private hospitals or clinics is not covered. You can inquire about the European Health Insurance Card from your local health service. Most travel insurance includes medical cover. Check with your travel agency when booking the travel insurance for your holiday.
