Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Lombardia, the quality of healthcare services, as evaluated by national indicators, ranks above most regions in Italy. Local healthcare performs respectably in managing post-heart attack readmissions, with similarly strong outcomes in minimally invasive breast cancer operations. While treatment for bone fractures and heart failure readmissions show above-average effectiveness, there is room for improvement in rapid post-operative discharges and urgent heart attack interventions.
