Getting the Most...

Italy is considered a relatively healthy place to live (according to the The Economist's 2007 Life Expectancy rankings), with the population reaching an average age of nearly 81 years. Many analysts claim it's the lifestyle: healthy eating, easy access to outdoor activities and good state healthcare.

...out of life in Italy

AngloINFO provides information to help you make the most of the healthcare and facilities available. By referring to the Health, Fitness & Beauty category of The AngloFILE, AngloINFO's local directory, you'll find loads of information and English-speaking businesses providing health services.

The INFOrmation Page on Health Insurance in Italy is up-to-date with the latest on health coverage through the National Health Service, with information relevant to foreigners (both EU and non-EU citizens) moving to or living in Italy, whether employed, self-employed or retired.

If you're feeling a little under the weather, the INFOrmation Page on Medical Terminology Glossary provides a handy guide to the essential terms and phrases you may need during a visit to the doctor or hospital. 

Residents of Italy are entitled to a European Health Insurance Card for use when travelling elsewhere in the EU. This means you are able to receive the same treatment at the same cost as a national of the country you are visiting.

Finally, remember that while it's your responsibility to make sure you have all the insurance the law demands of you, you can also opt for more cover with private health insurance. Local English-speaking health insurers are listed in the Health & Medical Insurance category of The AngloFILE.
