For Patients

  • Do not speak loudly on mobile phones in corridors, cubicles and patient rooms as this disturbs the patients and others present.
  • Cell phones should be placed on silent mode.
  • The use of mobiles is strictly prohibited in the ICU and other areas where signals can interfere with the working of medical equipment.

You are responsible for your valuables and belongings. Therefore, please safeguard these. The hospital will not be responsible, in any way, for any theft or loss of your personal items.

  • To prevent any infection, please do not sit or lie down on the patient’s bed.
  • Before touching a new-born baby, please make sure you sanitize / wash your hands.
  • Visitors with fever, cold sores, cough, nasal drainage, colds, diarrhea, or any contagious disease should not visit patients.
  • Surroundings should always be kept neat and clean. Food, sweets, wrappers and garbage should not be left lying around the place as this is very unhygienic.

We understand the desire to cheer a patient with flowers, plants and balloons. However, we have certain restrictions regarding these:

  • No balloons will be permitted.
  • We prefer that you do not bring any flowers.
  • ICU patients will not be permitted any floral arrangements (fresh or artificial) or plants, due to the nature or severity of their illness.
  • No decorations should be stuck on, or nailed to, the walls.
  • Our hospital has a very strict "Absolutely No Tipping" Policy. Therefore, please do not tip our employees, as this will cause them to lose their jobs.
  • Please do not tip our valet drivers, as this will cause them to lose their jobs.

The following are our hospital’s general guidelines for visitors.

  • Due to confidentiality, visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments, or when a doctor must consult with a patient.
  • For safety and health reasons, visits may be limited when the patient is in isolation.
  • Patients often have to be transferred around the hospital – from theatres and rooms – so please give them priority when you use the lift.

 

  • To afford more privacy and to cut the risk of cross-infection, visitors should, where possible, use the visitor’s toilets, rather than the patient’s toilet.
  • We would appreciate if you help us to keep the hospital premises clean – including communal areas, entrances, lifts and stairwells. Do not litter the place with paper or garbage. Do not spit paan.
  • Children should not be left unattended in the hospital premises. They must be accompanied by an adult.
