Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Campania, healthcare services present challenges for prospective expats and retirees. The overall quality across essential health indicators is relatively low on a national scale. Local hospital care is particularly concerning. Key services such as post-heart attack readmissions and timely treatment of bone fractures show moderate effectiveness but highlight disparities in care delivery. Breast cancer surgery with minimal invasiveness is less commonly practised, while urgent heart treatments like STEMI are notably delayed. Nonetheless, heart failure readmissions show a measure of reliability, offering some assurance in this specific care aspect.
