Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Campania, healthcare services reflect variability in quality and efficiency. Emergency responsiveness to heart attacks and heart failure readmissions perform notably below national standards. Treatment for bone fractures within a timely manner and hospital stay durations show moderate efficiency.
