It should never happen, but unfortunately sometimes it may happen to have health problems even on vacation. If a small accident happens, it may ruin your holiday. In case of particularly serious health emergencies, contact immediately the Emergency Number 112. Otherwise, it is possible to go to the city hospitals, where the service of First Aid is active 24h. For Italian and EU citizens with TEAM (European Health Card) the service is free or requires the payment of a ticket based on the type of service (priority code). For EU citizens without a TEAM card and for non-EU citizens the assistance has to be payed. For less serious health problems - for which it is not necessary to go to the emergency room, where you may wait for hours - you can also take advantage of another opportunity: the International Health Florence and the Medical Service, where multilingual doctors covering all the specializations are available 24/7.
