Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Lazio, healthcare quality is commendable overall, with notable efficiency in treating bone fractures swiftly and a high propensity for minimally invasive breast cancer surgeries. Hospital care, however, may require more attention in certain aspects such as timely post-heart attack interventions and managing heart failure readmissions. Post-operative care is relatively short, offering some reassurance for patients requiring surgery. Expats and retirees might appreciate the robust handling of specific medical needs, yet may wish to consider supplementary private options for conditions prone to frequent readmissions.
