'Guide to health services for immigrants'

Published 2008.12.01

The 'Guide to health services for immigrants' meets a precise need by all public and private health operators in Piemonte, who find themselves having to treat immigrants who are not registered with the National Health Service on a daily basis.

This Guide is split into two parts:

  • the first looks at health problems and specialised areas (e.g.: nursing care, paediatric outpatients’ departments, various medical specialisations, etc.);
  • the second comprises a datasheet dedicated to every public or private institution offering health services to foreigners.

Knowing 'who does what' and especially 'where and when' will make it possible to strengthen the cooperative network that already exists between the various institutions and also to guarantee foreigners living in the metropolitan area of Torino a system capable of adequately meeting their health-related needs.
