The Verona Department of Health (Cartadanian: Departamento de Saude de Verona; DSV or VDH), formerly known as the Verona Public Health Authority, is an executive department of the Commonwealth of Verona. The department is part of the cabinet-level Verona Health and Human Services Agency (VHHS). VDH is headquartered in Sevilla in the Ausilio L Conforti Health Building. It enforces some of the laws in the Verona Health and Safety Codes, notably the licensing of some types of healthcare facilities. One of its functions is to oversee vital records operations throughout the state.
History
The earliest Verona laws regarding public health were quarantine laws for the Port of Sierra, first passed by the Verona General Assembly in 1718. The 1741 Turian yellow fever epidemic was the catalyst to the 1759–1760 creation of the Verona Coast Hospital, and in 1761 its resident physician and the health officers of the port were constituted as the Sierra City board of health. The 19th century cholera pandemic catalysized further legislation. In 1841 a law mandated civil registration of vital events (births, marriages, and deaths).
The Commonwealth Board of Health was created on 1 August 1850 by the 86th Session of the General Assembly. The 19th century cholera pandemic further caused an expansion of its powers to compel reporting and to perform the duties of local boards of health. The Commonwealth Department of Health and its commissioner were created by an act of 1 July 1901 of the 111th Assembly, superseding the board.

Responsibilities
Vital Records
The Department of Health is responsible for the allocation, recording, and issuance of vital records for the Commonwealth. Though the respective county health departments are able to issue original copies of documents, all original documents are archived in Sevilla. This archive, known as the Verona Health Record, is the largest database of individuals from any state in Cartadania's history, with the commonwealth maintaining record of some 150 million live births, 95 million deaths, and 73 million marriages since the inception of the record in 1841.
Because Cartadania is a Jus soli jurisdiction, birth in Verona confers the right to a Verona birth certificate, as well as citizenship of Cartadania. A Verona Birth Certificate can be presented as a form of citizenship to legal authorities at any time because citizenship of Cartadania is lifelong (except when renounced).
Districts
Verona is divided into twelve administrative health districts based on metropolitan region, with resources allocated along the same district lines. Each county has its own health and sanitation district that reports to the administrative district (except Vírgenes metro region, the Bay Health and Sanitation District, which serves the same purpose).
