How Available Is Private Medical Care If You Need It?
Major cities and resort areas have excellent private clinics and English-speaking doctors; concierge teams can arrange visits.
In Rome, Milan, and Florence, private hospitals and clinics (e.g., Mater Dei in Rome, Humanitas in Milan) offer same-day appointments. On the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Lake Como, and Tuscany, concierge-arranged house calls are common; response is usually within hours.
Pharmacies (Farmacia) handle minor issues; pharmacists are well-trained and can suggest OTC solutions. Carry copies of prescriptions, and ensure travel insurance covers private care and evacuation—valuable for remote sailing or alpine stays.
