All students have the right to use the Italian National Health Service (SSN), but it is still possible to choose between different private health insurance options.
In case you are in an emergency situation, you can call the free number 112 to request an ambulance or go directly to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. Registration with the SSN is recommended because it gives the right to the same treatment as Italian citizens.
This includes: choosing a general practitioner, who will visit you for free and refer you to specialist doctors (dentists, orthopedists, etc.) if needed; acceptance at public or private hospitals for free or with payment of tickets at a reduced rate; free assistance from the emergency medical service, a doctor available 24 hours a day; examinations and analyzes at discounted rates (blood tests, radiological tests, etc.).
