The Vatican has an efficient health care system that addresses the needs of all those residing within the state. The Vatican Pharmacy known as Farmacia Vaticana was founded in 1874 by Eusebio Ludvig Fronmen. The pharmacy caters to around 2000 customers each day.
The geography of Vatican City is unique due to the country's position as an urban, landlocked enclave of Rome, Italy.
Vatican City is a city state that came into existence in 1929. It is therefore to be clearly distinguished from the Holy See, which already was in existence for many centuries before that date.
