This will ensure that patients will in future have full transparency on the vested interests of their attending physician with regard to the use of implants, substances or methods of treatment. In addition, the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group has further refined its existing system for monitoring the use of pharmaceutical products through additional supervision by an in-house expert panel. With these measures, the Hirslanden Group undertakes to further enhance its responsibility towards its patients with regard to quality and patient safety.
