Joseph Tein
: A direct translation of the Italian words, but "complex operative units" do not exist in English medical settings... I mean, the phrase is not used. You need to translate the phrase into its common usage in the target language (not just the words).

Lara Barnett
: This is non-idiomatic, and risks being misleading due to such unusual word usage/collocation

Unità Operativa Complessa - multiple speciality facility
I think it's something like this - (speciality/specialty)
The MFA physicians serve as the chiefs of service in the University Hospital and staff a growing number of satellite facilities, both single-specialty and multi-specialty, that provide additional sites for teaching and clinical care throughout the Washington suburbs.
http://www.gwumc.edu/smhs/about/campus.html
Servizi e Laboratori » Unità Operativa Semplice – (U.O.S.) Diagnostica delle Malattie Neuromuscolari
Sincert - BVQI
L’Unità Operativa, che comprende i Laboratori di Diagnostica morfologica ottica ed elettronica, la “Banca di tessuto muscolare scheletrico/cardiaco, nervo periferico, DNA e colture cellulari”, gli Ambulatori, il Day Hospital e l’attività scientifica, rappresenta da anni un riferimento nazionale ed internazionale nell’ambito delle malattie neuromuscolari e svolge una diagnostica assistenziale e di laboratorio e un’attività di ricerca scientifica sempre aggiornate.

I don't know, it is more of a conjecture, and looking into it further, am less clear, but I'm hoping "A Doctor/Un Dottore" can sort it out!
