First aid: on hand in an emergency!
First aid
The prompt and timely management of health-related emergencies that do not require immediate instrumental examinations, specialist visits or hospitalisation is part of the responsibilities, not merely institutional, of the Vatican Museums.
For a serene and confident tour experience, 18 defibrillators, installed along the entire museum itinerary, ensure that emergency cardio-protective treatment can be administered by all the members of the Guard Staff.
In more serious cases, there is service for transfer by ambulance to the nearest hospital.
Medical scripts or certificates cannot be issued in the Museums.
