Symptoms, since when, conditions: for reception and the doctor. What you tick stays on your phone. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Good to know here
- The emergency department is Pronto Soccorso. The EHIC does not cover non-EU visitors, so you pay yourself. Waits are long for less urgent cases. Keep the medical report and receipts.
Before you go
Mobile data (eSIM)
If you get sick or lose something in Italy, maps, translation and calling for help all need data. Install an eSIM before you fly and it works as soon as you land.
Airport transfers and transport
Taxis and directions are the hardest part when you can't speak the language in Italy. Booking an airport pickup or transport pass in advance means less to explain on arrival.

Travel medical insurance
A hospital visit in Italy can cost a lot without insurance. Travel insurance can cover treatment, and most insurers ask for the medical certificate, itemized receipt and police report these cards help you request.
