The LUX MED Group hospital will open in August 2010. However, we will start the qualifications for the surgical interventions already at the end of May and beginning of June.

The medical staff of the ward will consist of specialists with long-term experience in their specialization: surgeons, orthopaedists, gynaecologists - who mostly have cooperated with the LUX MED Group for many years. The Team will be supported by the reputable specialists working for the Warsaw clinics and hospitals. The Patients will be taken care of by the team of experienced anaesthetists and nurses. The Scientific Council of the LUX MED Group, whose list of members is available HERE, will provide factual support.

The surgical procedures will be performed within the contract signed with the Mazowieckie Voivodship Unit of the National Health Fund (NFZ) as well as commercially. The detailed pricelist of services will be posted on the website.

One-day surgery is a way of treatment that provides a performance of a certain surgical intervention in a minimum time (it means that the patients are treated and released within 24 h). The idea of one-day treatment emerged over 10 years ago and since then has become a standard alternative to hospital treatment. In Poland patients have had a chance to take advantage of it for a few years already. Before the treatment the patient consults a number of specialists, who decide on his or her ability of undergoing such a kind of intervention. One-day surgery demands a number of medical examinations and a very careful diagnosis. The main advantages of one-day surgery lie in a reduced time of waiting for an intervention, reduced risk of infections and stress and shorter time of a hospital stay and absence from work.

LUX MED Group Hospital will provide surgical procedures within: surgery, children's surgery, laryngology urology, gynaecology and orthopaedics in high comfort and safety.

The operating block consists of two rooms equipped in conformity with the highest technical and sanitary requirements. There are laparoscopic instruments, general anaesthesia instruments, monitoring systems and disinfection and sterilization systems in the rooms. The operating block consists of a double-bed recovery room with a modern vital functions monitoring system. The professional care and such modern equipment ensure maximum safety for patients.

To prepare yourself in an appropriate way for an intervention, you need to complete the following tasks.
1. Carry out the basic examinations: blood type and RH factor, blood count, biochemistry tests: sodium, potassium, glucose, bleeding time test and coagulation blood test, ECG, CXR.
2. Consultation with an anaesthetist - a few days before an intervention, on order of a doctor responsible for the treatment or, if there is no need, on the day of an intervention, after having been admitted to hospital. A consultation is to assess the risk and patient's condition, analyse the examination results and possibly order other tests.
3. All patients waiting for the scheduled interventions should come to hospital on an empty stomach; it means that they should refrain from eating minimum 6-8 hours before an intervention.
4. It is necessary to have a valid vaccination against hepatitis B.
5. On the day of an intervention the patient should be in hospital on time, have his examination results, ID card and personal belongings (such as pyjamas, footwear and towel).
The patients operated within the contract with the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) should have RUM (Medical Services Register) health book and the insurance card or the pensioner card as well.

In the outpatient clinic there are performed pre-surgery consultations to qualify the patient to an intervention, including the consultation with an anaesthetist. You can carry out diagnostic (X-ray, CT, ultrasound) and laboratory tests as well. In every LUX MED Group clinic you can take the vaccine against hepatitis B.

The date of an intervention is set individually by the patient and his doctor. Therefore there is a possibility to fix a convenient date for the patient who pays for an intervention. In the case of the interventions performed within the contract with the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) the date depends on a waiting list

To undergo a surgery in our hospital, the patient should have a surgery referral from a doctor. It may be a doctor who belongs or doesn't belong to the LUX MED Group. We fix appointments for a qualifying consultation by phone and enrol the patient on a waiting list of the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) or we set the date of an intervention with a doctor.

The hospital has single- and double-bed rooms. Each room has its own bathroom. The patient can be assisted by his family throughout the entire stay at the hospital. In order to reduce the stress, children can be accompanied by their parents even into the operating room until the moment of narcosis.
