Sassari Outpatient Clinic

Even in Sardinia, many people have no access to the care they are entitled to.

They are migrants, foreigners, destitute people who, because of language difficulties and the fear of being reported to police, or lack of knowledge of their rights, are unable to navigate Italy’s healthcare system and obtain the assistance they need and are entitled to.

Our Outpatient Clinic offers free of charge basic and specialist medical services and socio-sanitary assistance to facilitate access to the healthcare system to those who need it.

Cultural mediators inform patients about their rights, help them access the public health service, accompany them in case they have to undergo visits or specialist examinations at public facilities, deal with the documents for issuing STP codes (Temporarily Present Foreigner) and ENI (non registered European citizens), guaranteeing access to the public health service for foreigners and EU citizens. Sassari’s outpatient clinic also carries out health education and prevention activities.

The Sassari Outpatient Clinic, working in partnership with the local health authorities, is the continuation of the EMERGENCY Socio-Sanitary Orientation Desk, active since December 2012.

All services provided at the Outpatient Clinic are free of charge.
