Italy's Patient Support Programs (PSP) market size is at around $xx Bn in 2022 and is projected to reach $xx Bn in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Italy is one of the top 10 countries for providing high-quality healthcare. Italian healthcare is ranked as the second-best in the world by the WHO. At 79.4 years for males and 84.8 years for women, life expectancy is comparatively high.
In Italy, the National Health System (NHS) costs that the State contributes to are determined annually by the Finance Act at a general level of resources. The National Health Fund (NHF), which will increase from $130.56 Bn to $132.70 Bn in 2022, to $134.84 Bn in 2023, and to $136.98 Bn in 2024, has received an additional $2.14 Bn over the course of the next three years according to the 2022 Finance Act.

Patient Support Programs (PSPs) are an umbrella term for activities sponsored by pharmaceutical corporations to promote prescription drug availability, consumption, and adherence. PSPs can be divided into three primary categories: financial help, clinical support, and support for adherence. A single PSP may include elements from each of these category types. The Novartis-funded PSP PSOLife CARE, developed and implemented by IQVIA, was intended to assist Italian psoriasis patients receiving Secukinumab medication. This PSP came at no cost to the patients or the Italian National Health Services.
The Italian Pharmaceutical Industry Association (Farmindustria) endorsed new recommendations for patient support programs on January 19, 2022. According to the new standards, patient support programs are actions taken by pharmaceutical companies with the intention of providing additional services that directly benefit patients. These services are not meant to take the place of those offered by hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Regarding the handling of patient personal data, the new regulations provide that pharmaceutical corporations must only access aggregated data for statistical analysis of the use of the services rather than directly processing the data of patients participating in patient support programs.
Market Growth Drivers
Delivering patient support services has become simpler and more affordable owing to developments in digital health technology like telemedicine and remote patient monitoring. Consequently, Italy's PSP market now has more opportunities. The Italian government has promoted the creation and implementation of patient support programs by enacting a number of regulations and initiatives. To assist patient empowerment and self-management, the Ministry of Health, for example, has started a national program that involves the development of patient support programs.
Market Restraints
PSPs' advantages and their proper use may not be completely grasped by patients and healthcare professionals. The adoption of PSPs may be limited by this lack of knowledge and guidance, and patients may not benefit fully from these programs thereby limiting the Italy PSP market growth.

From a legal point of view, no specific regulation of PSPs has been developed at the European or national level, however, their existence is recognized in Europe, and to date, they have been regulated from a pharmacovigilance point of view since when a PSP is initiated in relation to specific products, it is essential to comply with pharmacovigilance regulations. PSPs must be designed and implemented by compliance and medical affairs departments in order to avoid any commercial purpose and use.
Italy's association for pharmaceutical companies has amended its Code of Ethics with 4 new articles on PSP and on the promotion of medicines. The Board of Farmindustria, the Italian Pharmaceutical Companies Association, recently approved amendments to its code of conduct that are of interest in connection with information and promotion activities. Key pointers include the provider may send its specialized, qualified, and previously trained personnel to the patient's home or to public or private health facilities, provided that the relationship between the company and the supplier falls within the form of a service contract and The duration of the services offered by the PSP must be previously defined and the corporate function that has the decision-making responsibility of the PSP must not be commercial and must operate under the supervision of the company's compliance function.
