Lombardia's Department of Health (sometimes referred to as LombardHealth) has one of the most comprehensive guidelines for infant and maternal health in the country. In fact, Lombardia often ranks first or second in these categories because of its provisions for pediatric and maternal care.

In fact, Lombardia often ranks first or second in these categories because of its provisions for pediatric and maternal care. It is one of only seven states that omits these provisions from the tax code, instead covering the expenses itself (the other six are Alexandria, Maresia, Porta Bianca, Santarém, Victoria, and Verona). | ||

The Lombardia Department of Health frequently works with the state to create new guidelines and develop new methods of care alongside institutions from other states. It often collaborates with the other three commonwealths–Maresia, Porta Bianca, and Verona–as well as Santarém and Toscana for health initiatives. | ||

Transportation in Lombardia is overseen by the [[Lombardia Department of Transportation]], a part of the executive branch of the state government. Lombardia's major Interstate Highways are IH-25, IH-30, IH-37, IH-45, IH-86, and IH-90. Lombardia's highway system is immense and contains around {{convert|133443.6|km|mi}} of roadway. It is consistently ranked as one of the best systems in the country, and the state tends to have a brute force approach to maintenance (well maintained due to more money invested into the system relative to other states). Lombardia is quite unique among states in that it isn't uncommon for the state to completely close a highway to decrease construction, maintenance, expansion, or upgrade times. This was seen with Interstate 86 east of Figueroa in 2011, when LDOT shut down traffic flow routinely in {{convert|30|km|mi|adj=on}} segments during the highway's expansion to eight lanes towards the Santiago state line. Though it caused some grief to travelers, it reduced construction time by nearly 2/3 the time needed if a semi-closure method had been used.
