ANMIC (i.e. the Italian National Association of Civil Impaired and Handicapped People) was founded in 1956 and is the only Association recognized by the national and regional laws to have the task of protecting and representing the rights of the disabled workers. During its 50 years of activity ANMIC has promoted and contributed to the attainment of all the laws that are currently in force to protect these people. Today it is committed to defend the enforcement of these laws both from the trade union and the operative point of view.

Our Association protects disabled people in all their needs and spurs public institutions to implement the social and civil obligations they have taken on to them.

ANMIC is always at your disposal to help every handicapped citizen solve his problems as for job, retirement, pension, education, medical prostheses, welfare, and so on, both from the bureaucratic and institutional point of view.

 

ANMIC WORKS ALL OVER ITALY AND ITS DOCTORS ARE ALSO PRESENT IN THE:

- Medical Commissions for the certification of disability status and pensions by helping making a petition both at the ASL Commission (i.e. the Italian Local Health Authorities) and then at the INPS Control Commissions (i.e. the Italian National Institute of Social Insurance);

- Provincial Employment Agencies;

- Ministerial Commission for the Nomenclature of prosthesis prices at the Ministry of Health.

ANMIC is also a member of FIMITIC (i.e. the International Federation of Disabled People) and member of CIDUE (i.e. the Italian Council on Disabilities for the relationships with the European Union).

ANMIC has concretely concurred to elaborate and approve all the Italian laws that are currently in force in the field of working disability, from the very first law in 1968 regarding the compulsory employment of disabled people to Law no. 118 in 1971 concerning the health, prosthetic, economic, and rehabilitative cares, from the law regarding the elimination of architectural features that deny access to the handicapped to Law no. 18 in 1980 that introduced an assistance benefit for the seriously disabled people.
