"GI-ESCR is publishing its brief on Italy's experience during Covid-19 to show the desastrous consequences of healthcare privatisation in the country and call on all countries to review their approach to healthcare systems. The publication is based 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."
