Hi a friend of ous has his blood tested every couple of months at Esnaf, he then phones the result to UK who check his medication which he buys here.
Not sure of all the medical details but he has a pacemaker and I think the test is for blood thickness, if you need specific answers let me know and I will ask him.
The blood test is about 9 lire with residential discount.
