Our own, modern and fully-fitted Sterilisation Centre where all surgical instruments are prepared is an integral part of the operating block. All materials are transported to the operating theatres via a special clean trail, which additionally minimizes any risk of contamination.

Directly after the operation, the patient is carried to our modern post-operative room and stays there under continuous medical care. When the patient is stable and conscious, she/he is transported to his/her room on the 4^th floor.
