Abstract
The Italian public health sector was radically reformed in 1978. The new national health service replaced the previous system which was based on several uncoordinated and mostly single-purpose agencies. At present the National Health Service operates at three levels:
-
1.
Central: the state level
-
2.
Intermediate: the twenty-one regional governments
-
3.
Local: the 671 so-called Unità Sanitarie Locali (USL) or local health units
