Four Italian hospitals rank among the world's top ten for specialist care in a new global ranking, The Local Italy reported on Friday. The same ranking, as the outlet describes it, records a stark divide between health provision in the north and the south of the country.
The Local Italy does not name the four hospitals or the fields in which they placed, and La Veduta repeats only what the outlet published. What the report establishes is narrower and more durable than a league table: excellence in Italian specialist medicine is concentrated, and the ranking treats that concentration as a finding rather than an anomaly.
