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. Breast cancer surgeries with minimally invasive procedures are somewhat standard, but the authority does excel in the timely treatment of certain heart emergencies, with primary percutaneous coronary interventions administered promptly. 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.
