This article aims to present a dataset on compliance and completeness of the Surgical Safety checklist at Bahir Dar City Administration Public Hospitals. The data showed that of the patient׳s files only 85.1% had the Surgical Safety Checklist and the remaining 14.9% of operations had not used the Surgical Safety Checklist. Of the total 313 Surgical Safety Checklists patient׳s files used, only 102 (32.6%) were complete (all items on the checklist had been ‘ticked off’) and 67.4% (211/313) were partially complete (all items on the checklist had not been ‘ticked off’). Even though the surgical safety checklist was not used in all operations, all three parts of the surgical safety checklist had been ‘ticked off’ in the majority of the operations among those who utilized the checklist.
