If the mortality rate for air travel is 1 in 3 million flights, the concerning figure in the medical field is 1 in 3,000 surgical interventions. Surgical incidents not only cause physical and mental harm to patients but also create a significant financial burden for long-term treatment and care.

Understanding this, surgical safety is always the top priority at Phương Nam Hospital, reflecting a strong commitment to the health and peace of mind of its patients.

As a healthcare facility meeting the international JCI Enterprise standards, Phương Nam has established a strict safety control system at every stage of the surgical process. From initial preparation to complete recovery, every aspect is closely monitored and managed to minimize any possible risks.

Key factors in ensuring surgical safety according to JCI standards at Phương Nam:

"One-Minute Timeout" Before Surgery

A quick but crucial safety check to confirm the patient's identity, type of surgery, surgical site, and ensure that all necessary equipment and medical supplies are ready. This essential step helps prevent unfortunate errors, ensuring that the surgery proceeds safely and accurately. The surgery will only begin once the Timeout is completed and all information is confirmed to be accurate.

Safe Anesthesia and Analgesia

At Phuong Nam Hospital, our team of highly experienced and well-trained anesthesiologists, supported by state-of-the-art equipment, ensures a safe and effective anesthesia process. Throughout the surgery, the anesthesiologist and surgical team will closely monitor the patient's vital signs and make timely adjustments to keep the patient safe at all times.

Infection Control

Strict infection control procedures based on international standards are applied, from hand hygiene and skin preparation to the use of sterile medical supplies and advanced surgical techniques. These measures help keep the surgical site clean, promote fast wound healing, and speed up patient recovery.

Pain Management Program

Regular pain monitoring using scientific scales allows doctors to adjust pain relief protocols accordingly, ensuring the patient feels as comfortable as possible throughout the recovery process.

At Phương Nam, patient safety and health are the top priorities. Choosing Phương Nam Hospital means placing your trust in a safe, high-quality, and internationally certified healthcare experience.
