Italian households' annual expenditure on pharmaceuticals and other therapeutic devices increased overall from 2012 to 2022. Indeed, as the graph shows, after starting at approximately 12.3 billion euros in 2012, Italian families’ spending on pharmaceuticals and therapeutic devices reached a value of roughly 14.8 billion euros in 2022.
Despite the increasing trend, household private health expenditure in Italy is still relatively small compared to public investment, which surpassed 114 billion euros in 2019. The country’s health care system, in fact, relies on a national health service (Sistema Sanitario Nazionale - SSN) based in regions. The system provides universal coverage free of charge for all Italian citizens, as well as foreign citizens living in the country with a regular permit.
