Healthcare in Lake Como
British citizens should have their free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), which can be used throughout Italy, including at Lake Como. This will cover any necessary treatments you may receive at public healthcare centres or hospitals on your trip. However, it’s important to remember to still have Italy travel insurance to cover the costs of any unexpected medical treatment the EHIC/GHIC might not cover or repatriation costs.
