Oxygen needed in Italy

[Inogenrvh]

Hi folks hope your all well I'm going to Naples Italy on holiday and I would like to know if anyone could tell me what hospital in the centre of Naples I could get my oxygen from, and also can I use my E1-11 card to order it free of charge

I have been able to arrange free oxygen while in Europe against my EICC card but it takes a lot of arranging from the UK and must all be ordered and sorted before you go not once you get there. If you need any further help reply to me. Ruth

Hi Ruth thank you for your reply im going to Naples and I need the number of a public hospital that will supply me with oxygen I have been getting it in other parts of Europe before but im finding it very hard to get a contact in Italy

Have you tried phoning the Overseas Health team? If not their number is 0191-2181999 or you can try Dept of Health Customer service on 02072104850 Hope this helps you, Ruth

I thought if you tell your usual oxygen supplier in the UK, they would make sure you had oxygen when you get there

It doesn't work like that unfortunately I had a lot of ringing around before I eventually got the right person to deal with it but thanks for your reply

The E1.11 doesn't exist anymore it has been replaced by EHIC. Reminder for everybody to ensure there's isn't out of date as they only last for five years. If your card has expired and you need to use it whilst you are away you won't get free treatment in Europe. Joy.

Thank you Joy123 I think I have sourced the oxygen alright now but thanks for your help
