As a foreigner living in Rome, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Rome if they have access to public healthcare in Rome. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Rome, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Italy is known as Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN) and is funded by the government. It provides free or low-cost healthcare services to all citizens and legal residents of Italy. The quality of care is generally good, and the system is well-organized and efficient. However, it can be difficult to access certain specialized services, and wait times can be long," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rome, Italy.
