The Ministry’s report details significant updates to the scope of day surgery services, noting an expansion of the service list from 856 to 891. This enhancement reflects the addition of 45 new interventions, alongside the discontinuation of 10 procedures previously offered under day surgery conditions. A key development highlighted is the expansion of eligible practitioners; specifically, doctors specializing in rheumatology can now perform these types of procedures.
To ensure consistent and uniform clinical practice across all settings, the SAM has established more precise protocols for conducting these services. These new guidelines provide detailed criteria for various medical procedures. For instance, the report outlines specific circumstances under which eyelid operations can be performed, and it has established clear criteria for the surgical treatment of varicose veins, which are now based on both the stage of the disease and comprehensive patient condition data.
Overall, these updates aim to professionalize the execution of day surgery. By refining the guidelines governing various medical procedures, the changes enhance patient safety and standardization across the board. The revised framework allows for a broader range of treatments to be safely administered in a day surgery setting, solidifying the scope and quality of surgical care offered.
