Healthcare & safety
Road accidents: 75.0 per 10k inhabitants.
ULSS 1 Dolomiti serves Belluno province , including Belluno itself, Feltre, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Cadore, and the Agordino. It has a composite score of 48/100, just shy of the national median. The information is best understood in context: the 1-year stroke survival rate is among the national top decile, while the 30-day STEMI survival is the lowest in Italy. Stroke patients who arrive at hospitals receive good care in Veneto’s rehabilitation network, whereas acute STEMI cases can be challenged by long drives to a catheter lab. Residents with cardiovascular issues should prepare for potential transfers to Treviso or Padova for urgent cardiac treatment; however, stroke recovery and ongoing management are well-handled locally.
