distretti sanitari
I am not sure but I do believe this is a plural term rather than every letter standing for an individual word (as in ss.mm.ii. or ss.ll. for example). There are numerous examples on Google - and of dd.ss.bb or dd.ss.ss. In my reference the text refers to both DD.SS and PP.OO. (presidi ospedalieri). And Joseph's suggestion of Googling the doctor in question is always a good idea.

The doctor in question is thus representing the 'distretti sanitari' - perhaps these are mentioned elsewhere in the document?

Doubling letters to indicate a plural seems to be a common occurrence in Italian. The fact that there is a full stop between the two sets of letters immediately brought this to mind for me.

- Pennylyd: in effetti potrebbe essere semplicemente Distretti Sanitari (o Distretto Sanitario). Tuttavia così, senza un numero o una sigla ad indicare per es. la provincia, non ha molto senso IMO.
