Operating Room

Asepsis and safety

We are uncompromising in everything concerning patient safety and first and foremost the sterility and asepsis of the operating room.

Located in a modern building of the Farah Clinic built in 2017, the ophthalmology block offers maximum security with the presence of laminar flow, autoclave and cold sterilization. The operating theater meets ISO 5 standards (the strictest standard).

We meticulously monitor all the key stages in the operating room and have used single-use instruments as much as possible. The training of the staff present is also our priority and we go through the drafting of rigorous protocols for sterilization, antisepsis and antibiotic prophylaxis, the aim being to instil a real culture of safety specific to the best structures.
