NHS is a pillar of the right to health says Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 8 - Italy's national health service represents an essential pillar of the right to health, President Sergio Mattarella said Tuesday in a message sent for the presentation of the seventh report on the NHS drafted by the GIMBE health foundation.
    "The national health service constitutes a precious resource and is an essential pillar for the safeguard of the right to health, in its two-pronged meaning of fundamental right of the individual and interest of the community", Mattarella wrote in the message sent for the presentation of the report at the Senate in Rome.
    "Its efficiency is the outcome of the resources dedicated and of the organizational models applied", with the latter responsibility "entrusted to regions", noted the president.
