Healthcare Quality Description

In this area of Campania, healthcare services reflect variability in quality and efficiency. Emergency responsiveness to heart attacks and heart failure readmissions perform notably below national standards. Treatment for bone fractures within a timely manner and hospital stay durations show moderate efficiency. Conversely, services in minimally invasive breast cancer surgeries are considered above average, aligning well with broader Italian performance metrics. Residents may experience inconsistent hospital care, with particular strengths in some areas of specialty care but challenges in emergency and immediate acute care. Potential residents should weigh this variability when considering healthcare needs.
