In 2022, the average expenditure by the Italian National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, SSN) per patient affected by at least one chronic disease was approximately 679 euros. This statistic highlights differences in this figure according to the type of disease patients were suffering from. The highest amount of money per capita was spent by the SSN to fight congestive heart failure, with 1,875 euros for each patient affected by this disease. These figures take into account all the public healthcare services offered to chronic disease patients, including the costs of prescription drugs covered by public health insurance.
