Over 50 successful heart surgeries have been conducted by Aspen Medical since October last year.

Chief Executive Annette Owttrim says Aspen Medical continues to provide the first-ever ongoing open heart surgery program.

Owttrim says patient safety and well-being are their top priorities.

She adds that there are still patients who require this complex surgery and who require a thorough assessment before surgery can take place to increase the chance of a positive outcome.

Owttrim assures that there are sufficient expert medical professionals to carry out these surgeries in the country.
