Overview

The AHS Safe Surgery Checklist was adapted from the World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist. The WHO developed this checklist after extensive consultation with the aim of reducing errors and other adverse events, while also increasing teamwork and communication in surgery. The utilization of such a checklist has since shown significant reduction in both morbidity and mortality.
