How we protect patient safety

At KEIT Day Hospital, every procedure follows written clinical protocols, from the first consultation to full recovery. They cover seven areas: patient safety, surgical control, anesthesia safety, hospital infections control, medication and devices, prevention and treatment of complications, and facility safety.

KEIT is an ISO certified, licensed Day Hospital. The same protocols apply to every service, whether it is rhinoplasty, a hair transplant, dental implants or an aesthetic treatment, and they are followed by our medical team at every stage of your care.
