The Ninth Report on the National Health Service presented: an additional 32 billion is needed for the next three years
AI-generated summary
The report analyzes the contraction of public healthcare financing in relation to national GDP.

For the future, things do not seem to change and it is expected that for the next three years an additional 32 billion will be needed to finance healthcare without burdening citizens. These are some of the salient data from the Ninth Report on the National Health Service produced by the Gimbe Foundation and presented this morning in the Sala della Regina of the Chamber of Deputies.
