1. Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Certification by the US based company Surgical Review Corporation.

LIMARP has been named a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by the US based company Surgical Review Corporation. This means that we have achieved the highest standards of quality in medical and surgical care. The Center of Excellence guarantees that the medical attention provided to patients seeking bariatric or metabolic surgery is safe and of the highest quality available worldwide, regardless of where the patient choses to have their procedure done. As one of the first International Centers of Excellence outside the United States, it means that patients receive exclusive and unparalleled care in one of the most advanced facilities in the world. This designation is awarded after a series of rigorous onsite reviews over two year-long periods where every facet of the practice, the staff, the surgeons, and the facilities are examined by experts in the medical field to ensure that only the highest standards are consistently maintained. Very few international hospitals achieve this status, and many American Hospitals do not.

It is a certification given to Health Institutions in accordance with an evaluation of standards, where the objective is the integration of actions and execution of processes in a sustainable manner under a systemic perspective and to improve the quality of medical care services and the level of safety provided to patients.

How does the General Health Council help in the Operating Room?

5. We have nurses especially trained in patient care.

6. We have enough material, medication and equipment to face any eventuality.
