Free help, now
These organisations give free information and support. Contact one of them first.
Short answer
Emergency numbers, help after violence or trafficking, and how to get a doctor while your case is open.
Information, not legal advice. MovItaly is not a law firm. Check with the questura or consulate before you act.
Who is this for
Everyone seeking protection in Italy, including people not yet registered.
Requirements
None to call emergency numbers. A registration paper helps for the ASL.
Steps
- Save 112, 1522 and 800 290 290 in your phone.
- Register with the ASL and choose a doctor.
- Ask for a medical or psychological report if you were harmed.
Costs & timing
Emergency care is free. Other care may have a co-payment unless you are exempt; ask at the ASL.
Common mistakes
Avoiding the hospital out of fear. Hospitals do not report you for treatment.
Where to get help
112 for danger. Free helpers: see the UNHCR Italy help site.
