On 20 December 2012, it was approved a State-Regions Agreement, which provides guidelines for the proper implementation by the Regions and Autonomous Provinces, of the specific regulations on health-care, to be applied to foreign population, namely regular migrants, those who temporarily stay for various reasons in Italy, as well as irregular migrants. The above Document, as a result of the two-fold need to both ensure that the immigrant population can have equal access to care and facilitate the work of health-care workers, provides an overview of existing national and regional standards. - One of the most relevant highlights is the compulsory enrolment in the National Health-Care Service (NHS), with the attribution of a paediatrician of one’s choice or the general medicine physician’s to all foreign minors being on the national territory, regardless of their legal status. 75. On a more specific note, Italy guarantees all citizens from Non-EU countries who legally reside in Italy, to be enrolled in the National Health-care Service along the lines of the Italians.
