Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Puglia, the local healthcare quality may raise concerns for expats and retirees. Local hospital care lags significantly, indicating potential challenges in accessing specialised medical services. Orthopaedic response times fall short, with prompt treatment for fractures less frequent. Minimally invasive breast cancer procedures are notably rare, impacting oncological care options. Conversely, the management of heart attack patients is relatively well-handled, although response times for urgent cardiac cases could improve. The readmission rate following heart failure shows a moderate level of care. Collectively, these factors suggest varying degrees of efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare services.
