Nursing staff are happy to discuss your relative’s condition, provided that he/she has no objection. If you want to see a doctor, please ask the nursing staff or midwife to make an appointment.

Our number one priority is the well-being of our patients and visits are limited depending on the condition of the patient and his or her care needs.  A good rule of thumb would be to limit each visit to 10-15 minutes.

Family and friends of the patient may visit during visiting hours. As a rule, we do not allow visits from younger children because of the risk of infection to both them and to patients. Seeing a loved one in a hospital environment may also be traumatizing for young children.

However, when allowed visiting with children, please do not let them wander, run or play in the hospital.  Always keep them with you and ensure a quiet and peaceful visit.

Patients are sometimes placed on restricted diets due to a medical condition, thus please check with the patient’s nurse before delivering any gifts of food or beverages.  No alcohol or non-prescribed drugs may be given to patients.

Flowers and balloons are allowed, and we do encourage cards, pictures, silk flowers and stuffed animals. Flowers should ideally be in an arrangement not requiring a vase due to the risk of a vase breaking and causing injury. No flowers or latex balloons are allowed in our ICU units due to serious allergenic risk.
