Healthcare & safety
ULSS 1 Dolomiti encompasses Belluno province , including Belluno, Feltre, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Cadore, and the Agordino. It has a composite score of 48/100, which is slightly below the national average. The data should be interpreted alongside geographical factors: the 1-year stroke survival rate ranks in the national top decile, while the 30-day STEMI survival rate is the lowest in Italy. Stroke patients who reach the hospital fare well in Veneto’s rehabilitation network, but acute STEMI cases can be unforgiving due to the long mountain drives to a catheter lab. Residents with cardiovascular risks should anticipate potential transfers to Treviso or Padova for urgent cardiac care; however, stroke recovery and chronic management are well-supported locally.
