Who runs it
All public health care in the province falls under the Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale of Siracusa, based at corso Gelone 17 (switchboard 0931 724111): unlike Palermo, Catania and Messina, there are no separate hospital trusts or university hospitals. The ASP publishes the lists of GPs and paediatricians for choosing your doctor, and a live monitor of emergency-department crowding.
Hospitals and out-of-hours care
In the city the ASP runs two hospital sites: the Umberto I, the main hospital, and the A. Rizza site on viale Epipoli; the provincial network also includes the "Giuseppe Di Maria" Avola-Noto hospital and the Lentini hospital. Out-of-hours care (continuità assistenziale, former guardia medica) in the Siracusa district has two posts in the city, at the Umberto I (0931 724276) and at the Rizza (0931 484629).
Bookings
Visits and tests with an electronic prescription are booked at the CUP desks in the province's public facilities (Monday–Friday 8:00–13:00, with afternoon openings on Tuesday and Thursday), by phone through the CUP, or online on SovraCUP, the single booking portal of the Sicilian health authorities.
