Health Recommendations

All citizens of the European Union must absolutely obtain the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), valid for two years, free of charge and personal (including children). This is a blue laminated card, the same format as your national health card. This document will allow travelers during their stay in Italie to benefit from coverage for all healthcare-related expenses, including medical care, pharmaceuticals, and hospitalization fees. The card will be issued within fifteen days after calling 3646 or by submitting the application form to your social security office. You can consult detailed information about this card on the website http://www.ameli.fr/. To ensure reimbursement upon your return, be sure to keep all your receipts.

Travel First Aid Kit

This is the most essential element of your personal packing checklist. Italie's high healthcare standards may encourage travelers not to overload their luggage with medications, but do not overlook continuing your regular treatments once you arrive in the country. Be sure to complete your travel pharmacy with skin antiseptics, sterile gauze pads, and multi-size adhesive bandages.
