A timely risk management resource

The Hospital Information Services program and the work of the HLC members has resulted in a significant increase in the number of physicians and institutions willing to co-operate with bloodless treatment of patients. Over a five-year period the number of physicians willing to co-operate in this matter has increased from 5,000 to more than 50,000 in 65 countries. This dramatic increase in the number of informed co-operative clinicians has also resulted in the development of more than 80 bloodless surgery and medical centres in various countries.
