The Hemas Ambulatory Care Surgical Centre enables patients to undergo a wide range of surgical procedures from minor surgeries to advanced interventions without the need for overnight hospitalization. This means, that patients can return to the comfort of their own homes on the same day as their surgery, promoting a faster recovery and reducing healthcare cost to patients as much as 30% compared to doing the same procedure as an in-patient making Hemas Hospitals the most cost-effective hospital in the country. By dedicating a specialized facility, the hospital is able to create an environment tailored to the unique requirements of outpatient procedures. Cutting edge equipment and advanced technology optimizes our ability to deliver safe and effective care enhancing patient outcomes.”
