Admission
The first day of hospitalization is intended for the admitting process, carrying out tests and becoming acquainted with the attending staff.
On the morning of your admission to the hospital, take your letter of referral to the patients admissions office where the hospital registration process will be carried out and you will be referred to the hospitalization ward.
Usually a number of patients are admitted to the same ward on the same day, and so it may be necessary to wait between one test and the next. Please accept this with understanding, and bring something to do while you are waiting (a book, handicrafts. etc.)
The patient admissions office is open Sunday to Thursday from 8:00 until 18:00. When the office is close kindly contact the ER admittion office.
Discharge
The doctors in the department will inform patients or members of the family a day prior to the discharge date.
The discharge report / illness summary and prescriptions for medicines will be given to the patient or to a family member.
Patients are requested not to leave the hospital without a discharge report or illness summary from the doctor.
Prior to discharge, a nurse will provide explanations and guidance for continued care and medicines for one more day's treatment.
Patients who are scheduled to return to the clinic for a follow-up visit after discharge are requested to check with the department secretary that an appointment has been made for them and that the date has been written in the discharge report/illness summary.
If for some reason an appointment has not been made, please contact the appropriate clinic to arrange the appointment.
