Italian-speaking doctors, city by city

Where these came from

These come from 30 different sources, led by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association (112), the Ärztekammer für Steiermark, Styria's statutory doctors' chamber (68) and Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (25). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why Italian turns up in 22 countries rather than only where Italian is spoken.

283 of the 284 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Where we have nothing

We list doctors in 365 further cities with no Italian speaker recorded, among them Sapporo (470), Matsuyama (213), Kumamoto (212) and Okayama (195). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in Italian.

Questions

How many Italian-speaking doctors does this page list?

284, in 38 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.

Where are most of them?

Hamburg with 112, Graz with 68 and Barcelona with 12. Together that is 68% of the page.

Does a listing mean the doctor speaks Italian personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include an Italian speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.

All 403 cities where we list doctors, whatever the language.
