"Milan offers a variety of health services that cover both preventive and curative care. Primary healthcare is provided through local health centres in the city, while secondary and tertiary care services are available through various hospitals and clinics. The city also boasts numerous private health care centres and specialists, often staffed with highly qualified health professionals. Emergency services are provided at the Policlinico San Matteo and at the major private hospital, Humanitas.

"Healthcare services in Milan are of high quality, with access to both public and private options. The public healthcare system provides comprehensive coverage, including general practitioners, specialists, and hospital care, at low cost. However, wait times for non-urgent services can be long and many expats choose to use private healthcare for faster access and more personalized service," wrote Brian Viola from Italian For A While.
