Life expectancy in Italy is among the highest in Europe, but it fell at least temporarily in 2020 because of deaths due to COVID-19. While the Italian health system generally provides good access to high-quality care, the pandemic highlighted important structural weaknesses, including years of low investment in the health workforce and the health information infrastructure. The pandemic stimulated many innovative practices in Italy, such as the rollout of special units for continuity of care, which could be expanded to build a more resilient health care system. Risk factors for health are major drivers of mortality in Italy. While tobacco consumption has fallen among adults over the past decade, nearly 30 % of 15-year-olds reported that they had smoked in the past month in 2018. Physical inactivity among both adolescents and adults is also relatively high in Italy, contributing to overweight and obesity. Spending on health in Italy grew slowly in the decade before the pandemic. In 2019, health expenditure was substantially lower than the EU average, both in per capita terms and as a share of GDP. About 74 % of health spending
was publicly funded in 2019 – a lower share than the EU average of 80 %. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian government allocated additional funding of EUR 3.7 billion in 2020 and EUR 1.7 billion in 2021 to the health system – an increase of 3.3 % and 1.7 % over the original funding plan.
