Aspetti evolutivi ed implicazioni etiche della legge 833
----------
According to the conclusions of the World Health Organisation's 2000 report Italy had the second best health system in the world with Italians having one of the highest life expectancy, but since 2001 the 19 Italian Regions and 2 Autonomous Provinces exercise their autonomy very differently, with Northern regions being more successful in establishing effective structures of health care delivery, management and monitoring, compared to the regions in the South. This regional variation in health care reflects (and exacerbates) differences of contextual, i.e. political, economic and cultural factors as well as differences between regional health systems. A recent survey showed that in 14 of the 21 Regions and Autonomous Provinces the system is fairly well performing and well perceived by citizens but also that 6 Regions are on the verge of financial and service breakdown. This article outlines the structure of Italy health system, analyses its performance and discusses the challenges it faces, not least in trying to contain costs and offer equitable care to all citizens.
