Desenzano Hospital: Key Facts, Services, and Recent Developments

The Desenzano Hospital Company is one of the most important “health industries” in Lombardy, with over 1,050 beds and 2,600 employees. It is distributed across six hospitals: Desenzano, Lonato, Salò, Gavardo, Manerbio, and Leno.

Inpatient admissions amount to 44,000, while day hospital visits total 8,400. Emergency room visits surpass 350,000, and outpatient services for external patients amount to about 3,043,000.

Service Offering and Catchment Area

The company structures its healthcare services for a potential catchment population of over 310,000 residents, roughly one-third of the Province of Brescia.

Recently, thanks to the wide range of departments and services offered, the company also serves many users from neighboring provinces, such as Mantova and Verona.

Emergency Services and New Facilities

Recently, in addition to the Emergency Departments located in Desenzano, Gavardo, and Manerbio, a mobile emergency point has been activated in Gargnano, along with a First Aid station at the Salò hospital. The latter, initially seasonal, has now become an annual facility.

From an economic perspective, the Region’s Evaluation Unit expressed a positive opinion “for the qualification of assistance and the rationalization of organization.” Finally, within a few months, a new administrative headquarters will be established in the building formerly occupied by the hospitality vocational institute.

In addition to the management offices, other sectors (technical, IT) will be added. m.to.
