Healthcare Quality Description

In this area of Lombardy, the local healthcare provision is somewhat uneven. Hospital care is generally below the national average, and there is room for improvement in minimising readmissions post-heart attack and enhancing the prompt treatment of bone fractures.

Post-operative recovery times are moderate, showing a balance between efficiency and quality that might not meet the expectations of all expats and retirees seeking robust healthcare services.
