Beira Central Hospital, cantral Mozambique’s main healthcare centre, is to introduce outpatient surgery this year with the help of the Portuguese Outpatient Surgery Association.
The chairman of the Portuguese association, Carlos Magalhães, cited on Friday by Mozambique’s local paper “Notícias” said that the Portuguese specialists are to train surgeons, nurses and graduate students to ensure the performance of the outpatient surgeries in Beira’s hospital.
Magalhães pointed out that outpatient surgery decreases waiting lists for patients’ surgical interventions and reduces economic risks.
He also said that this type of medical intervention has guaranteed that 50% of patients are operated and discharged on the same day.
Leonildo Soares, a medical surgeon at Beira, said that they are getting the appropriate equipment, infrastructures and human resources to conduct the outpatient surgeries.
Almost 200 Mozambican health professionals last week began to receive training in this type of surgery in the main hospitals of Maputo, Beira and Nampula, from Portuguese specialists.
