Statista dossier on the healthcare system in Italy
This dossier presents a range of statistics and facts about the healthcare system in Italy. The health system in Italy consists of a mix between private and public services. The latter is provided through the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (National Health Service), which covers most of the general expenses related to health issues. However, there are some services and treatments for which citizens are required to pay, sometimes entirely, some others partially. The aim of this dossier is to offer a general overview of the system, depicting the developments of both public and private health expenditures and providing data about the level of satisfaction of the citizens. In addition, the last chapter contains some insights on private health services and supplementary health funds, since they have gained increasing relevance in the last few years.
