Implementing ERAS can significantly reduce hospital stay lengths

In Ethiopia, adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines was achieved in 65.2% of cases among 555 patients reviewed.

This indicates that even limited ERAS implementation can enhance recovery outcomes in resource-constrained environments.
