Online Healthcare in English for Italy

English speakers in Italy who need a clinician in their own language: tourists and short-stay visitors, expats and their families, international students, posted workers and digital nomads — and families abroad arranging care for someone in Italy.

Only if the doctor judges it clinically appropriate; it is never guaranteed before the consultation. When issued, it is a private Italian prescription as a PDF, valid in Italian pharmacies for non-controlled medicines. Some prescriptions must be paper originals and are posted at a small extra charge.

Fit-to-fly, fit-to-work and private sick notes on Medelit headed paper, where clinically appropriate. Italian INPS sick certificates are not issued.

You pay at booking confirmation and are charged only after the consultation. Video consultations cancelled or moved within 48 hours of the appointment are charged in full; earlier than that there is no charge.

Yes, for follow-ups after care received in Italy or a first orientation before you arrive. Documents issued are Italian and valid in Italy.

With Medelit, you can check availability and fees at your address directly on our website. Simply enter your address, choose your preferred clinician based on their profile, qualifications and fees, and book online. No membership required.

Fees vary by clinician and specialisation. With Medelit, each clinician sets their own fees, which are fully transparent when you check availability — so you can choose based on both expertise and cost. There are no hidden fees or membership charges.

A home visit is ideal when you have mobility issues, are caring for a child or a relative, are too unwell to travel, need attention outside surgery hours, are travelling or new to Italy, or simply prefer the privacy and comfort of home or your hotel.

Every Medelit clinician is fully registered with the relevant Italian professional body, holds professional indemnity insurance, and has been individually vetted through background checks, reference verification, and interviews with our medical directors. All speak English.

Absolutely. When you check availability, you can view each clinician's profile, qualifications, specialisations and fees. For follow-ups, you can request the same clinician for continuity of care.

Give your preferred time when you book: the professional offers that time or the closest one they have free, and you see live availability at your address before you choose. For medical emergencies, always call 112.

Medelit is available in Italy’s major cities and many surrounding areas. Enter your address to check availability where you are staying.

Yes. Medelit clinicians visit wherever you need them — your home, hotel room, office or workplace. This is particularly valued by travellers, expats and companies requiring on-site services.

You receive a comprehensive report in English. Your Medelit clinician can coordinate follow-up care, referrals, and any additional services needed — all organised through Medelit.

No referral is needed. You can book directly with any Medelit clinician. If you have a letter from your own doctor, our practitioners are happy to take it into account.
