The publication shows the disastrous consequences of healthcare privatisation in the country, by which we call on all countries to review their approach to healthcare systems. It draws on the exemplary case of Lombardy, which quickly became the archetype of a failed response to the pandemic as a direct result of the high level of privatisation of healthcare.
