Lombardia

Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Lombardia, the healthcare system demonstrates moderate efficiency overall, with hospital care performing above the national average. The management of heart failure and response to bone fractures are particularly strong, showcasing high standards in these areas. However, there are notable deficiencies in the use of minimally invasive surgeries for breast cancer and rapid response to readmissions post-heart attack, both significantly below national averages. Elective surgery stays are mid-range, and emergency heart attack interventions are somewhat effective, though there is room for improvement. The general healthcare infrastructure is competent, albeit with certain gaps in specialised treatments.
