How is Wockhardt Hospitals able to offer the Short Stay Surgery Program? At Wockhardt Hospitals it is a combination of People, process and Technology. This combination enables us to perform surgeries/procedures and discharge patients in much lesser time than most other hospitals. Our consultants are extremely experienced in minimally invasive surgical techniques and have performed a large number of such surgeries. We have dedicated infrastructure for the short stay surgery unit which includes dedicated operation theatres, dedicated rooms infact two floors of the hospital are meant exclusively for the short stay surgery program, dedicated administration and nursing personnel to ensure optimal time management. The standard operating protocols that we follow stringently ensures no wastage of time. For e.g. most of the blood tests and other investigations that one needs for being cleared for surgery are done even before the patient gets admitted. Infact most of the time it is not the surgery itself but the inadequacy of the processes followed that results in huge time delays and the patients not being able to go back home on time.
