Providing a comprehensive historical overview of healthcare in Italy from its unification in 1861 to the present COVID-19 pandemic, this book delves into the profound political, social, and cultural impact of Italian healthcare policy and medicine. The author explores the evolution of public health, hospitals, and primary care, as well as the establishment of healthcare systems across three distinct political regimes in Italy: the liberal period (1861-1914), Fascism (1922-43), and the Italian Republic (1948 to the present day). By emphasizing the intricate interplay between health-related legislation and Italy's political and social context, the book offers a comparative analysis of Italian health policy, juxtaposed with developments in neighboring European countries, Canada, and the United States.
The book specifically focuses on the Italian government's response to the social and political consequences of several diseases, including pellagra, cholera, malaria, and tuberculosis. It also examines the current response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by the healthcare system in Italy.
A timely and insightful read, this book appeals to scholars and researchers interested in Italian history, medicine, and healthcare, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between politics, society, and health outcomes.
