The Italian 'pharmacy of services' takes center stage at the World Congress in Canada
The Italian healthcare system is preparing to share its model of local care on a global scale. Roberto Tobia, representative of Italian pharmacists, will participate in the upcoming World Congress of Pharmacy to be held in Canada to illustrate the recent innovations introduced in our country.
At the center of the debate will be the concept of the "pharmacy of services," a model that has now become definitive and structural in Italy. This change was made possible thanks to the Simplification Law, which allowed pharmacies to transform into true local healthcare hubs for citizens.
Thanks to this legislation, Italian pharmacies now offer a wider range of services, ranging from primary diagnostic tests to telemedicine, and even the administration of vaccines. The goal is to decongest hospitals and offer patients faster and easier access to basic care.
Italy's participation in this important international event represents a significant opportunity to engage with colleagues from all over the world. The discussion will allow for the analysis of best practices adopted globally and the promotion of the effectiveness of the Italian system, which increasingly relies on the widespread availability of the service throughout the territory.
In conclusion, the Italian experience is considered a virtuous example of the modernization of public health. The Congress in Canada will therefore be an important showcase to consolidate the role of the pharmacy as an essential point of reference for the health of citizens.
