Italian Sunshine Reporting: Ensuring Transparency and Compliance

Overview

The Italian Sunshine Act (Law 62/2022) is a critical step toward enhancing transparency in Italy’s healthcare sector. The law mandates that all transfers of value (TOV) between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and organizations (HCOs) must be reported publicly, ensuring greater accountability. Though the law came into effect in June 2022, full implementation will not occur until the Ministry of Health establishes the Sanità Trasparente portal, which is expected in 2025(ITA).
