Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Lombardy, the local healthcare system demonstrates a mixed performance. Hospital care is notably efficient, with rapid treatment for heart attack patients. Breast cancer surgeries are frequently minimally invasive, reflecting strong clinical practices. However, the speed of care for bone fractures and certain cardiovascular procedures needs improvement.
