Road accidents: 34.0 per 10k inhabitants.

ULSS 1 Dolomiti serves Belluno province , including Belluno, Feltre, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Cadore, and the Agordino. With a composite score of 48/100, it ranks just below the national median. This data should be interpreted in the context of geography: 1-year stroke survival rates are among the national top decile, while 30-day STEMI survival rates are the lowest in Italy. Stroke patients who reach hospitals fare well in Veneto’s rehabilitation network, but acute STEMI cases are challenging due to long mountain trips to a catheter lab. Residents with cardiovascular risks should prepare for potential transfers to Treviso or Padova for urgent cardiac care; however, stroke recovery and chronic management are effectively handled locally.
