The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has been proven to reduce surgical complications and deaths. This adapted version covers the three critical phases — Sign In (before anaesthesia), Time Out (before incision), and Sign Out (before the patient leaves the operating room) — ensuring the entire surgical team verifies patient identity, procedure, site, allergies, equipment, and post-operative plans.

Consistent use of the surgical safety checklist is a core patient safety requirement for hospital accreditation and demonstrates a culture of teamwork and communication in the operating theatre.
