Radiation and Screening Safety
Well Women maintains a rigorous commitment to radiation safety and patient well-being. We operate in strict adherence to all applicable regulatory standards and guidelines promulgated by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Internal protocols are meticulously developed and enforced to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors within our facilities.
Our practice utilises advanced diagnostic imaging modalities, including those employing ionizing radiation, magnetic fields, and ultrasonic waves. The administration of these technologies is conducted with precise control and adherence to established safety protocols. The judicious application of ionizing radiation for diagnostic purposes is predicated on a careful assessment of the clinical benefits relative to potential risks, integrated within the context of the patient's comprehensive healthcare management.
All imaging equipment is registered with SAHPRA and undergoes regular, documented quality assurance assessments to verify compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated protocol committee conducts ongoing reviews and adjustments to examination procedures, aiming to optimise imaging quality while minimising radiation exposure. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures the provision of safe and effective diagnostic imaging services.
