(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 12 - Fully half of Italian families, or
50.2%, gave up on much-needed medical treatment last year due to
economic problems, the unavailability of treatment or lack of
supply of services, commercial information agency CERVED said
Wednesday.
At the same time, it said, household spending on health,
assisting the elderly and education all went up.
This widening gap between a growth in demand and a lack of
supply was a new feature in the 2022 edition of CERVED's Report
on Italian Family Welfare. (ANSA).
