What makes us different?

  • Safety and comfort of patients

Hospital equipment

Our hospital has modern and safe medical and diagnostic equipment.

In the operating theatre, with the help of the C-arm, we perform procedures that require intraoperative X-ray imaging. We cooperate with the largest manufacturers and distributors of medical equipment, including implants used in orthopaedic surgeries. This gives our patients the confidence that medical material will be optimally selected for their needs as well as their safety.

Our diagnostic departments:

  • CT
  • X-ray
  • Mammography
  • Ultrasonography
  • Endoscopy

In 2018, the Endoscopy Laboratory at the Damiana Hospital was modernised. Over 6,000 examinations are performed here annually – and the majority of them are conducted re under short general anaesthesia. The Endoscopy Laboratory uses high-class equipment for endosonographic examination of the digestive tract, the so-called EUS (endoscopic ultrasound).

Individual approach and safety and comfort of patients

At Damiana Hospital each patient is treated with individual medical care right from the contact to relief from the hospital. During the appointment, the doctor will provide you with detailed informations on the method of performing any recommended procedures as well as preparation for the procedure, preparation for the procedure and additional examinations and/or tests to be carried out in advance.


One-day surgeries at the Damiana Hospital

In 2004 Damiana Hospital established the day surgery-care department to accomodate short-term procedures. This ward has two rooms: one with two beds and the other with three beds, plus additional four beds in the supervision room for patients after endoscopic procedures.

The patients stay at the Day Care Department from just a few to 24 hours. The patients after surgeries under local anaesthesia in the fields of hand surgery, gynaecology (minor procedures), laryngology (tonsil removal surgery in children, CELON) and ophthalmology (cataract removal surgery by phacoemulsification) are hospitalised there. There is also an endoscopy laboratory at the Day Care Department – it performs examinations as gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, endsoscopic ultrasound of the digestive tract (EUS).

At the patient's request and without any medical contraindications, these procedures can be performed under short-term general anaesthesia.


Longer hospitalisation

We also perform procedures that require a longer stay in the hospital. This concerns mainly orthopaedic surgeries (hip and knee endoprosthesis), oncological surgeries and plastic surgery procedures. For patients who had orthopaedic surgeries, rehabilitation is available immediately after the procedure.


Minor emergency room

The Admissions Desk at the Damiana Hospital is the right choice when you need to get advice from an internist or surgeon in case of a sudden illness.

Emergency medical services are available through the Admissions Desk seven days a week – Monday to Friday 07:30-21:00, on Saturday 08:00-20:00 and on Sundays 08:00-16:00.

The hospital admissions are available from 07:00 to 20:00.
