What are emergency services like in Italy?
When we asked members about emergency services in Italy, they wrote...
"Emergency services in Italy are generally reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the number 118. This number is free of charge and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The operator will ask for the caller's location and the type of emergency, and will then dispatch the appropriate emergency services," said another expat in Italy.
"We have hospitals nearby (c. 20 miles) and helicopter access...no experience personally yet," wrote a member who made the move to Italy.
