In this area of Lombardy, the local healthcare system demonstrates a mixed level of efficiency and quality. Hospital care is viewed more favourably compared to the broader performance metrics. Management of readmissions post-heart attack appears above average, but treatment timelines for bone fractures show room for improvement.
