++ Gimbe, €18.8 billion in invisible cuts to healthcare between 2023 and 2026 ++

The Gimbe Foundation has reported that the Italian healthcare system faces 18.8 billion euros in what it describes as invisible budget cuts between 2023 and 2026. The foundation indicates that an additional 32 billion euros will be required over the next three years to sustain the system.

Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, warned that these fiscal constraints place the burden of the shortfall directly on citizens. The findings highlight a significant gap between current funding levels and the financial resources necessary for future healthcare operations.
