Visiting a patient

As of February 8, we are relaxing the visitation rules, so you will be able to visit family, friends and acquaintances again. Of course, the safety of our patients, visitors and staff remains paramount.

As of February 8, 2022, the following visiting rules apply at our inpatient wards:

Patients can receive visitors between 2 PM and 7:30 PM.
During these visiting hours, one visitor is allowed for one hourto visit the patient (max. one visitor per day)

However, some exceptions apply:

• No visits will be possible at the COVID-19 wards.

What about people accompanying outpatients?

In order to limit the number of people in our waiting rooms and ensure social distancing it is  not allowed to escort outpatients. Patients should come alone. So make sure you have someone to take care of your children.

 One person is allowed to accompany the patient, but only only in the following cases:

• Children under the age of 18
• In case of physical impairments ( wheelchair, etc.) of the patient
• In case of mental impairments ( dementia, etc.) of the patient
• Because of language problems of the patient
• During gynaecological consultation of pregnant women, the partner is always allowed to be present.
• In case of day clinic visits to the paediatrics ward
• At the oncology department, only at the request of the patient by calling ahead and subject to approval from the oncology department.

Points to consider when entering the hospital :  

• Surgical face masks are mandatory in the hospital and in the patient room and they should be worn throughout the visit, by both the patient and the visitor. This applies tovisitors and persons accompanying patients who have a Covid Safe Ticket.
• Children over the age of 6 are required to wear a face mask.
• Disinfect your hands when entering and leaving the hospital and before and after visiting in the patient room.
• Leave the window of the room ajar to ensure ventilation. Leave the door open.
• Avoid physical contact and always keep a safe distance of at least 1.5 meters with patients, visitors and staff.
• Stay in the patient's room during visiting hours. Visitors are not allowed in other areas of the ward or hospital.
• After your visit, leave the hospital as soon as possible.

If you are infected with the corona virus or if you have a cold or flu-like symptoms and/or if you came in contact with a COVID-19 patient, do not come to visit (even if you are fully vaccinated).

If COVID-19 is suspected, no visits will be allowed pending the test result.

We value the safe care of our patients, staff and visitors  and so we will follow the latest government guidelines regarding COVID-19.
