Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Puglia, the local healthcare demonstrates variable performance. Local hospital care is below average in the national context. The system shows competence in managing bone fractures promptly and addressing heart attacks with timely interventions. Minimal usage of invasive procedures in breast cancer surgeries and the length of post-operative hospital stays are areas needing improvement. The management of heart failure readmissions and critical cardiac events is notably behind national standards. Prospective residents should evaluate these healthcare aspects when considering relocation to the region.
