Our Commitment to Patients

Protecting the interests of patients and their families

We, at Canadian Specialist Hospital, are committed to deliver high quality services and ensure the best outcomes for our patients. We aim to serve our patients and their families by providing care built on values of compassion, respect, and integrity. Our medical professionals endeavor to treat all patients with utmost professionalism regardless of their age, race, language, religion or social status.
Care and Respect

At CSH, our patients shall be treated with dignity in a considerate and safe environment. The personal safety might be extended to physical restraint or seclusion, whenever required as part of the medical treatment. The disabled, elderly and special needs patients will benefit from supplementary suitable protection.

We respect our patients’ personal values, religious and ethnic beliefs and their need for privacy. The expression of religious and/or cultural practices is supported so long as they do not cause disharmony or conflict. We carry out any request for a religious counselor for which our ward nurse will make the appropriate arrangements.

All patients and their families or significant others are encouraged to participate in the plan of care.
