- Belcastro, a village in southern Italy with around 1,200 residents, has issued a decree banning serious illnesses.
- The decision, made by Mayor Antonio Torchia, was described as a "humorous provocation" to draw attention to local healthcare issues.
- Residents, especially those over age 65, face challenges due to the nearest emergency medical facility being over 45km away.
- The village's doctor is rarely available, leading to fears of inadequate medical response for emergencies.
- The decree aims to prevent residents from engaging in risky behaviors and to mitigate health risks caused by the area's lack of medical resources.
