The Minister of Health, Orazio Schillaci, in agreement with the President of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, has signed the decree recognising the SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo University Hospital in Alessandria as a Scientific Hospitalisation and Care Institute (IRCCS).

This is a historic achievement for Piedmont, which for the first time has a public IRCCS and joins the national network of Scientific Institutes for Hospitalisation and Care with a facility that will serve as a centre of excellence for research, innovation and highly specialised healthcare.
