Giugliano hospital records 10 births in 24 hours

The San Giuliano Hospital in Giugliano, Campania, recorded 10 births within a 24-hour period, consisting of seven females and three males. The maternity ward, directed by Dr. Vincenzo Cacciapuoti, handles approximately 850 births annually and serves as a major delivery hub for the Naples province.

This event occurs as Giugliano has recently become the second most populous city in Campania, surpassing Salerno according to provisional Istat data. While Italy faces a broader structural demographic crisis characterized by declining birth rates, Giugliano shows a counter-trend of population growth and demographic vitality.

Monica Vanni, General Director of Asl Napoli 2 Nord, noted that the event reflects community confidence in the public healthcare system and its advanced facilities.
