Advices for a safer permanence
[carlo marcio]
You should always inform the staff of your school and your housemates if you have a medical condition they had better be aware of, including allergies to medicines and food.Italian doctors are well qualified and will be able to provide aid even if a translator is not available.
You can try with Pharmacies: look for a a neon green cross sign. Chemists in Italy have an excellent medical training and are usually qualified to provide advice on minor ailments.
We suggest Farmacia al Ponte Vecchio in Lungarno Acciaiuoli (tel. 055.287797) an old-fashioned chemistry with English-speaking staff and evrything for your wellness and health
Otherwise you can always go to the Tourist Medical Service in Via Lorenzo il Magnifico 59 a doctor is on call 24 hours a day (tel. 055.475411).
If you need to call an ambulance or in case of an accident you should dial the emergency number 118, which answers calls in Italian and English and the call is always free including from cellphones and public phone booths. 118 will alert the emergency unit closest to where you are. In fact in an emergency you will always be treated in public Italian hospitals, regardless of your health insurance.
