The Ministry of Health as a public administration was born March 13, 1958 with the need to fully implement the provisions of the Constitution which, in art. 32, states: "The Republic protects health as a fundamental right of the individual and as a collective interest, and guarantees free medical care to the indigent".
Subsequently, on December 23, 1978, with the law 833, the National Health Service (SSN) was established: a system of structures and services that have the purpose of guaranteeing all citizens, under conditions of equality, universal access to the health services, in implementation of the aforementioned art. 32 of the Constitution. The Italian healthcare model, universalistic and solidaristic, ensures care and assistance to everyone, regardless of nationality, residence and income.
With the reform of Titolo Quinto of the Italian Constitution (law n. 3/2001) the concurrent legislation of the State and the Regions on health protection was introduced.
According to the articulation of competences sanctioned by the Italian Constitution, the public health function is exercised by two levels of government: the State, which defines the essential levels of assistance (LEA) and the total amount of financial resources necessary for their financing, and the Regions, which have the task of organizing the respective regional health services (SSR) and guaranteeing the provision of the related services in compliance with the LEAs.
The High Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità – ISS) is an Italian public institution that, as the leading technical-scientific body of the Italian National Health Service (SSN), performs research, trials, control, counseling, documentation and training for public health. The Institute is under the supervision of the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of the interior is the national top public security authority in Italy. The organization is responsible for monitoring and analyzing security and phenomena that contribute to the prevalence of punishable offences for the purpose of their prevention. It monitors new forms of punishable offences and ways of committing thereof. It develops prevention programmes, projects, campaigns and activities; coordinates preventive activities with district Police at the regional level; cooperates with other governmental organizations, NGOs, scientific and university institutions and others.
Center of the judicial policy of the government, the ministry deals with the judicial organization and carries out administrative functions related to civil and criminal jurisdiction such as: the management of notarial archives, the supervision of orders and professional colleges, the administration of the criminal record, international cooperation.
The Legislative Office, reporting directly to the Minister, is responsible for the study and proposal of regulatory interventions.
In the penitentiary sector, the Ministry implements the policies of order and security in penitentiary institutions and services, the treatment of prisoners, and the administration of prison staff. Finally, the Ministry deals with minors and young adults subjected to criminal measures.
