Healthcare & safety
Road accidents: 28.0 per 10k inhabitants.
ULSS 1 Dolomiti covers Belluno province — Belluno itself, Feltre, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Cadore, the Agordino. Composite of 48/100, just below the national median. The data is best read alongside the geography: 1-year stroke survival is in the national top decile, while 30-day STEMI survival is the weakest in Italy. Stroke patients who reach hospital do well in Veneto’s rehabilitation network, but acute STEMI is unforgiving of long mountain drives to a catheter lab. Residents with cardiovascular risk should plan for likely transfer to Treviso or Padova for acute cardiac care; stroke recovery and chronic management are well-handled locally.
