Regrouping of activities
Surgical activity has grown by 5.3% since 2013. In 2017, HUG continued its efforts to improve patient flow and increase the safety level of procedures.
Since September 2017, HUG has had six new operating theatres in the Gustave Julliard building. The opening of these theatres has made it possible to:
- transfer and regroup surgical activities per speciality and
- make two additional theatres available for differed emergencies.
The theatres whose activity has been transferred to Gustave Julliard have been closed, allowing the renovation of the emergency unit.
