Hemas Hospitals pioneers same-day discharge with ambulatory care

Redefining the healthcare space in Sri Lanka, Hemas Hospitals is transforming patient recovery from advanced surgeries, allowing patients to return home on the same day and recover faster, better and more comfortably by adopting superior surgical techniques with its new initiative Hemas Ambulatory Surgical Care. 
This pioneering service is transforming the way Sri Lankans experience surgical procedures, making them more convenient, highly cost-effective and most importantly, providing a uniquely patient-centric approach.

Explaining further, Hemas Hospitals and Laboratory Chain Managing Director Dr. Lakith Peiris said, “Patients are known to have faster recovery at the comfort of their home in familiar surroundings with the assistance of an expert homecare medical team. 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 hospitalisation. 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 percent compared to doing the same procedure as an in-patient, making Hemas Hospitals the most cost-effective hospital in the country. By dedicating a specialised facility, the hospital is able to create an environment tailored to the unique requirements of outpatient procedures. Cutting-edge equipment and advanced technology optimise our ability to deliver safe and effective care enhancing patient outcomes.”

Hemas Ambulatory Surgical Care allows patients to access advanced surgeries at a cost that is 30 percent less than traditional in-patient procedures, resulting in cost-effectiveness and increased affordability for patients but without compromising on the delivery of top-tier care. The facility stands out by seamlessly integrating the latest techniques and employing state-of-the-art surgical instruments and equipment, ensuring patients benefit from cutting-edge advancements in healthcare.
All surgeries are performed in strict adherence to the Australian Council for Health Standards International guidelines, ensuring the highest quality and safety standards. A standout feature of Hemas Ambulatory Surgical Care is that it is provided through a technical collaboration with Alexandra Hospitals in Singapore, under the National University Health System, which is a global leader in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) and pain management. 

Additionally, the MIS unit of Alexandra Hospitals is under the leadership of distinguished Sri Lankan consultant surgeon Dr. Sujith Wijerathne. The collaboration between these two giants in healthcare, Hemas Hospitals and Alexandra Hospitals, is one of good will, allowing for exceptional care and access to the latest surgical innovations, at affordable price points. 
Hemas Ambulatory Surgical Care is thus unveiling the future of fast-tracked surgery in Sri Lanka, providing cutting-edge, patient-centric and cost-effective solutions.
