We also avail of services of top European Pathology Laboratories, with access to recognized specialists.
We employ the highest quality of human-grade gaseous anaesthetic agents. Our highly-trained staff and extensive monitoring equipment carefully monitor all of our surgical procedures. Pre-anaesthetic assessments are carried out on each patient prior to surgery, the ensuring that the anaesthetic agents are chosen accordingly. No anaesthetic is considered routine.
The highest standards of hygiene and sterility are obeyed in our dedicated surgical theatres. Following surgery, our patients are monitored while they recover.
