Treatment in the Vatican

Nestled within the smallest independent state in the world, the Vatican City's healthcare system reflects its unique status as a spiritual and cultural epicenter. While primarily serving the needs of its residents and employees, the Vatican also extends its healthcare services to visitors and pilgrims, embodying its mission to care for both the physical and spiritual well-being of all.

The Vatican's healthcare services are provided by the Vatican Health and Hygiene Office, catering to the needs of the approximately 800 residents who call the city-state home. Additionally, the Vatican offers medical assistance to the thousands of visitors who flock to its historic sites and religious events.

It's important to note that the Vatican's healthcare system is designed to address basic medical needs, and complex or specialized treatments might require seeking medical care in the surrounding city of Rome.
