The Operation Theatre Department is located on the hospital lower level (basement), providing seven fully equipped operating theatre rooms (OR). Along with the OR, the department facilitates an Endoscopy Unit, the patient recovery area, the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) and a Nursing Station.
The department is staffed with supervised nurses who due to continued education and training, maintain high levels of expertise and are swift and precise in their responses. In collaboration with the Head of the Anesthesiology Department, the nursing supervisor plans ahead the allocation of the operating theatres by specialty, coordinates the preparation of the surgical instruments needed, ensures the availability of all consumables and implants needed per operations and assigns the staff of the department to the operating theatres.
