Great emphasis is placed on primary care, and people are required to register with a General Practitioner (GP) (or a paediatrician up to the age of 14). Primary care seivices in health centres are guaranteed 24 hours a day/7 days a week through the primary care out-of-hours service (called the guardia medico). Moreover, financial incentives have been provided in recent years for GPs to move towaids various models of group practice with fellow GPs and/or other health professionals, following a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional approach.
