Many Italian labs now offer results via patient portals or email
Most Italian laboratories (both public and private) now provide results online through regional health portals ('fascicolo sanitario elettronico'). Blood test results ('emocromo', 'profilo lipidico', etc.) typically arrive within 24 hours. However, public lab waiting times for the appointment itself can be weeks — many Italians use private labs ('analisi private') for speed.
