Surgical Site Infections (SSI)

Hospitals that perform hip and/or knee joint replacement surgeries are required by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to publicly report their surgical site infection prevention percentages. SBGHC does not perform these surgeries and is, therefore, considered ineligible to publicly report this information.
