| Annotation | The rate of population ageing in Italy is similar to that of other European countries, and health care expenditure is comparable to the mean European expenditure. However, the availability of nursing home beds is much lower than the average in Europe. This article briefly describes the healthcare system in Italy, as it relates to older people. In particular, it focuses on the Progetto Obiettivo Salue dell'Anziano, the 1992 Act which makes provision for care of older people. (AKM). |
