Hospital Standards

Carefully Selected Hospitals You Can Trust

Every hospital we work with is chosen only after a detailed and rigorous selection process.

Operations Abroad partners exclusively with hospitals that rank among the best medical providers in their country.

We work closely with foreign embassies and consulates to identify leading private hospitals that are especially well suited to UK and international patients.

Below is an overview of the standards we look for when selecting our overseas hospital partners.

Internationally Accredited Hospitals

All of our partner hospitals are accredited by internationally recognised healthcare bodies such as:

• JCI

• ISO

• JCAHO

These organisations independently assess hospitals to ensure they meet the highest standards of patient safety, medical care, and treatment outcomes.

Accreditation provides peace of mind, showing that hospitals deliver safe, effective care and meet globally recognised quality standards.

All hospitals we work with are also approved by major international insurance companies and accept patients with private travel or medical insurance from around the world.

Highly Experienced, World-Class Surgeons

Choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important parts of achieving excellent results.

That’s why we work with surgeons who meet strict professional criteria.

Every surgeon we partner with:

• Is fully registered with their country’s specialist medical register (equivalent to the UK’s GMC)

• Is a member of respected international medical bodies, such as the Royal College of Surgeons

• Holds membership with international surgical boards relevant to their specialty

• Is a Professor of Medicine or senior consultant (not entry-level)

• Specialises in their field and performs over 250 procedures in that specialty each year

• Regularly attends international conferences and training

• Stays up to date with the latest medical techniques, technology, and best practices

Strict Infection Control & MRSA Screening

Your safety is our priority.

All hospitals follow extremely strict infection-prevention procedures.

• Every patient is screened for MRSA before admission

• Hospitals follow comprehensive infection control protocols to reduce risks and support optimal recovery

Exceptional Hygiene & Sterile Operating Environments

Our partner hospitals maintain the highest hygiene standards, including:

• Fully sterile operating theatres with laminar airflow systems

• Thorough cleaning of theatres after every procedure

• UV light cleaning to destroy bacteria

• Strict prevention of cross-contamination

• Surgical instruments processed through separate dirty, clean, and sterilised zones

• Mandatory theatre scrubs for all staff, worn only in operating areas

• No jewellery permitted in operating theatres

We monitor the surgery success rates for all of our patients and are extremely proud that we have achieved excellent results with zero patients experiencing any attributed post-surgery complications.

Advanced Medical Technology & Facilities

Many patients travel abroad to access advanced treatments or technologies that may not be widely available in the UK, including:

• Hybrid operating theatres

• HEPA-filtered laminar airflow systems

• 3D laparoscopy and minimally invasive surgery

• Da Vinci robotic surgery

• CyberKnife and Proton Therapy

• Minimally invasive spinal surgery

• Endoscopic brain surgery

• Robotic-guided biopsy

• Joint replacements with up to a 30-year implant guarantee (Oxinium)

• Advanced joint replacement techniques (Visionaire method)

• Open and silent MRI scanners

• PET scans

Our Commitment to You

Our goal is simple: to ensure every patient receives treatment in a hospital known for clinical excellence, led by highly skilled surgeons and supported by dedicated nursing teams.

All of these elements work together to provide exceptional medical outcomes, personalised care, and a safe, dignified experience from start to finish.
