When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Italy, they replied...

"In Italy, healthcare services include both private and public services. The public healthcare system is largely free, based on national and regional health policies that guarantee health rights to all citizens and residents. Generally, public healthcare services in Italy are of good quality and provide care for both acute and chronic illnesses. Foreigners living in Italy, including expats, have access to public healthcare, although they may not always be eligible for free services. Expats in Italy often obtain private health insurance in order to receive more comprehensive care, as the public health system can often be subject to long waiting times," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Italy.

"If in serious health...seek English speaking private physician..."you get what you pay for"," commented one expat who made the move to Italy.
