Premiere Surgical Centre Delivering World-Class Health Care in Barbados

Opened in January 2017, Premiere Surgical Centre is a 10,000 square foot, multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art surgical facility with capacity for vascular, gynaecology, orthopaedic, urology and general procedures. While specialising in minimally invasive surgery that allow patients to be treated and discharged within a 24-hour period, the Centre can also accommodate patients requiring multi-night stays.

Conceptualised, designed and delivered by a team of leading medical experts, all fully committed to providing an extensive range of world-class services to both Barbadian and international patients, Premiere Surgical Centre has been meticulously built and equipped to the highest international standards. The Centre’s leading-edge facilities include two ultra-modern operating theatres, both of which make full use of the finest laparoscopic, endoscopic and surgical technologies available in the world today, including computerised temperature and air-quality control to ensure maximum patient comfort and minimize risk of infection. The pre-operative and post-procedure recovery rooms are also fully equipped with high-tech monitoring systems. All patients have the choice of either a private or a semi-private room, each of which has wireless internet, cable television, telephone, bathroom facility and guest seating. Those patients who need or choose to stay overnight are kept under constant close observation by an attending nurse, with doctors on call.

Premiere Surgical Centre is justly proud of its technologically advanced capabilities and best-practice efficiency, but it is also equally proud of the talented and dedicated people who make that possible, including a team of surgeons of the highest calibre and the leading anaesthesiology group in the island. Staff at every level, including the senior physicians, all undergo the same stringent application process and careful vetting to maintain the highest possible standards of excellence and prime customer service.

One of the key roles of Premiere Surgical

Centre is to act as a facilitator, allowing local and overseas medical practitioners to practise in Barbados in the same sophisticated environment usually associated with high-end international hospitals, thereby enabling them to pass on addedvalue to their own patients. For surgeons based elsewhere in the Caribbean, that might mean he/she can operate in a more advanced facility than at home. Surgeons from the USA and UK who are already operating at the Centre have discovered that they can charge lower fees due to the competitive pricing available in Barbados. While surgeons from Canada can generally offer their patients an earlier date for their procedure compared to waiting in the Canadian system.

Furthermore, those overseas patients also stand to gain a double dose of benefits. In addition to saving money and/or time, they also get to spend their recovery period relaxing in Barbados, with all the many advantages that entails. Each patient has a golden opportunity to combine medical treatment with an enjoyable, health-improving vacation, both for the price of one airfare. Essentially, Premiere Surgical Centre can provide the highest international standard health care in arguably the best vacation destination in the Caribbean.
