Migrant health card project set to start (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 29 - Italy is set to start trialing a health card for migrants, Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said Friday. She said the first "deliveries" of the new card would take place in Lampedusa and Trapani in July. She said the card would contain "all the migrant's health data and will enable us to trace the state of health of those entering Europe. She also said it would permit "the traceability of people as regards security". The card is part of the EU's 'Care' scheme, she said.
