The Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) plays a critical role in patient safety by ensuring that all surgical and medical instruments used across the hospital are properly cleaned, disinfected, sterilized and safely distributed. The department operates with strict quality control measures to prevent hospital-acquired infections and to support smooth functioning of operating theatres, ICUs, emergency units, wards and procedure rooms.
