Matilda Clinical Indicators

At Matilda International Hospital, we maintain a steadfast commitment to transparency and excellence in healthcare. As a proud member of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS), we consistently benchmark our clinical outcomes against leading hospitals worldwide.

This page is dedicated to sharing detailed clinical indicators that reflect the quality and safety of the treatments and services we provide. The statistics in the tables below showcase our performance across various domains, including anesthesia and perioperative care, emergency medicine, infection control, and medication safety, among others.

We invite you to explore this data from the second half of 2023 to gain a deeper understanding of the care we offer. Your trust and safety are our top priorities, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement in these crucial areas.
