Italian term or phrase: Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale
Can anyone provide a general translation (AE) of this term with a short explanation of its nature and the difference between A.O., P.O., and U.S.L. unità sanitaria locale ?

Thanks very much!

Explanation:
I think that Azienda was tacked onto USL to give it the sense of a business; it is an azienda, not a struttura di beneficenza.
This is a very superficial explanation I am sure that there are reams of legal texts to explain it.
