ULSS 6 Euganea covers Padova province — Padova city, the Euganean Hills, Cittadella, Monselice, Este. Composite of 57/100, top fifth nationally. Emergency response leads (60), then a balanced profile across the other two pillars. Padova’s teaching hospital (one of Italy’s oldest medical faculties) sits inside the AULSS structure here, which lifts the data in a way that doesn’t apply to similar academic centres in Milan or Rome. A strong catchment for both routine and academic-grade care.
