New Zealand aren’t the only ones suffering from healthcare struggles. 

Italy released their 2025 draft Budget, and medical professionals in particular are unimpressed. 

Nurses and doctors went on a nationwide strike, drawing 85% of support according to trade unions. 

Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking that they’re saying not enough money has been allocated to healthcare, and they have insufficient resources to pay staff and keep the system functioning. 

She says the system is rather rundown, and waiting lists are a big problem in the public system, which a majority of the population uses.
