Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Puglia, healthcare services present a balanced mix of strengths and challenges. The overall performance falls slightly below the national median, with hospital care showing room for improvement. Cardiovascular treatment demonstrates efficiency, particularly in the timely response to severe heart attacks, and readmission rates post-heart attack are commendably low.
