The plan involves the co-operation of the Municipal Government, the Municipalities of the former district, the physicians’ Association of general medicine, S. Giuseppe's hospital and the health care Authority of Ferrara. Its goal is the improvement of the Public Health Care System by locally distributed health care interventions, by amending clinical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
