With the recent opening of a high-precision radiotherapy clinic, the British Hospital closed a year that confirmed it as the best private hospital in the country and one of the benchmarks in the region, as a result of making the highest quality standards available to the community in the provision of health services.
The permanent search for excellence, the ongoing training of its professionals and a culture of quality that permeates the entire Institution, made it possible for the year that ends to be characterized by the achievements at all levels.
A few days ago, the British Hospital together with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Uruguay and the Precision Health Group, inaugurated the RT International Institute in the Carrasco area, a High Precision Radiotherapy service that is destined to become a regional reference.
The opening of the RT International Institute makes available to the public a space of excellence in High Precision Radiotherapy for oncological care, which has the most advanced technology worldwide and a team of highly trained professionals, made up of the most outstanding academics and leaders in the specialty.
The expected benefit of using high-precision radiotherapy is a higher rate of regional control of the treated lesions, which increases the probability of cure and minimizes the possible appearance of adverse effects in the surrounding healthy tissues.
The validation of the British Hospital as a reference center beyond its borders had another of its high points in the realization of an academic day together with the Mayo Clinic of the United States, focused on the treatment of prostate cancer with high-precision imaging.
The activity organized by the Department of Continuing Medical Education of the British Hospital included the participation of Dr. Jack R. Andrews, a specialist in the multidisciplinary treatment of urological cancer from the prestigious clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
The British Hospital frequently hosts update days, workshops, conferences and academic meetings, in which both its professionals and colleagues from the public and private areas participate. Doctors from abroad who are leaders in their respective specialties participate in several of these events.
It is also common for the Hospital's professionals to carry out research in their respective areas of specialty, many of which have been recognized and awarded both locally and abroad.
In addition to the scientific support that is thus provided to the care of hospital scheme members and users, in 2024 the deepening of policies aimed at quality in the management of the different services and areas of the Hospital was added. Many of the services have already obtained their respective certifications and the rest are in the process of doing so.
Always faithful to the organizational culture that defines and distinguishes it, the British Hospital also maintained the focus on the empathy and humanization of its care, taking firm and permanent steps in that direction, as part of its purpose towards its hospital scheme members and towards its staff of collaborators.
