Emergency Room in Rome: Pronto Soccorso Near You
What to do first, which number to call, where the closest emergency room is, and what it costs if you are a visitor.
Life-threatening? Call 112 now
112 works from any phone in Italy, with no credit and no Italian SIM. Chest pain, trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, suspected stroke: call, don't travel.
For an ambulance in Rome call 112 (or 118). For non-urgent problems go to a hospital pronto soccorso, where you are seen by triage colour, not arrival order. Emergency care is given to everyone; EU visitors use the EHIC card, non-EU visitors are usually billed.
- Emergency: 112 · Medical: 118
- Triage: red immediate, yellow quick, green/white can wait hours
- Keep all receipts for your insurance claim

Open Health Map →How Italian triage works
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Red | Immediate danger to life — seen at once |
| Yellow | Serious but stable — seen quickly |
| Green | Not urgent — may wait a long time |
| White | Non-urgent, could be handled elsewhere — longest wait, may be charged |
Colour names vary slightly between hospitals; the principle is always severity first.
