The Programme Mattone Internazionale Salute (ProMIS) has been institutionalised on the basis of the proposal of the Ministry of Health during the State-Regions Conference on the 29th of July 2015. It represents the natural evolution of the Project Mattone Internazionale (PMI), created to respond to the need to bring the Regions’ healthcare systems in Europe and, on the other hand, to bring Europe in the Italian Regions’ Healthcare Systems. ProMIS intercepts the training, information, research, innovation and collaboration needs of the European Health System, translating them into action across multiple levels and multiple systems. It also has the capacity of networking with a multiplier effect, creating culture and added value. Strategic Objective ProMIS contributes to the growth of healthcare as a system, from an international and European perspective, strengthening the competences of stakeholders through exchanges of regional, national and European approaches, experiences and models, and the development of European-level initiatives. Operational Objectives 1\. Strengthening the internationalisation strategies of regional health systems 2\. Promoting and supporting complementary EU initiatives in synergy between different policies at regional level 3\. Consolidating the structured link for the internationalisation of the Italian health system between the regional and national levels 4\.

Supporting and promoting actions to contribute as a Country System to the strategic development of European Programming 6\. Increasing the networking capacity
