Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Campania, healthcare quality varies significantly across services. The overall performance sits below the national median. Hospital care and timely treatment for acute conditions, such as heart attacks, exhibit weaker performance compared to other regions. Conversely, the area excels in providing minimally invasive breast cancer surgery and effectively managing readmissions after heart failure. However, it lags in rapid treatment of certain urgent medical conditions and prompt post-surgical discharge. Prospective expats and retirees should weigh these mixed outcomes in their considerations, especially if they prioritise specific healthcare needs.
