It is a surprise to most people how cost-effective our state-of-the-art, luxury facilities are for same-day, short-stay procedures.
The reasoning behind this, apart from us having our patients and community at heart, is fairly simple. By offering minor surgical procedures that mostly do not require an overnight stay, we avoid the 24/7 costs of major hospitals and keep our expenses down.
Our advanced facility aims to accelerate the healing process. And owing to the types of procedures offered at Edge Day Hospital and our modern technology, recovery is generally faster.
Spending the initial hours after surgery in our peaceful sanctuary overlooking the Baaken Valley does wonders for the recovery process. Healing is further accelerated in that patients get home and back into comfortable, familiar surroundings as quickly as possible.
Because patients are generally admitted, operated on and discharged on the same day, we offer patients and their loved ones the peace of mind of planning ahead, along with being able to recuperate in the comfort of their homes.
On the rare occasion that an overnight stay is required owing to a more complex procedure, you can rest assured that one of our 4 overnight beds will be made available to you – along with the highest care and attention through the night.
The dedicated design of Edge Day Hospital was done with the surgeons, staff and patients in mind. The compact design of the facility also adds to the efficiency of our post-operative follow-ups before discharge.
We boast state-of-the-art technology in our Laminar Flow Operating Theatre and Digital Operating Theatre, with both of our theatres comprising advanced equipment and machinery – including a 3D Cone Beam Scanner.
The procedures at our day hospital are less invasive, and this means there are lower risks and fewer complications.
Because we only do specific procedures, there is also less exposure to hospital-acquired infections. And while the pandemic is still at large, patients do not need to worry about being in proximity with Covid-19 patients either.
Our day hospital is a positive environment for both our patients and our staff. Our nursing staff work regular hours without night duty and the excessive hours that come with it, and this adds to the level of service excellence that they can offer every day.
As a multidisciplinary day hospital, we have surgeons in most medical fields, as well as an experienced and knowledgeable nursing team. This minimises waiting periods and ensures fast turnaround times for surgeons.
On arrival at our day hospital, all patients and visitors will be screened and either complete or present their completed Covid-19 questionnaire. Our staff are also screened daily.
You are in good hands with the Edge Day Hospital surgical team. Patients can rest assured that we have taken all of the necessary precautions in our theatres to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19 and other infections.
Once a discharge instruction has been received from the doctor, the patient’s next of kin will be informed. Patients will also be informed of their follow-up date with their surgeon.
