Register with the SSN
Plain English
The SSN (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale) is Italy’s public health system. Students may register voluntarily or through specific routes depending on nationality, enrolment, and whether they already have private or EHIC coverage. Registration is how you get a local GP (medico di base) in many cases.
