Italy: good to know
- PEP in this country. Italy works to a 48-hour window for PEP, prescribed by a specialist after a risk assessment. None of the Bologna sources read names a PEP service; go to a hospital emergency department (Pronto Soccorso), for example Sant'Orsola or Maggiore, as soon as possible.
Emergency number: 112
