Visitors

Visiting Time

The necessity of controlling visiting hours is to ensure that patients can take a necessary rest and also to allow our nurses and doctors to provide treatment without disruption.

To make sure that patients get optimum rest, quality care and are not disturbed unnecessarily, visits to all patients within the Intensive Care, High Dependency Units will be controlled by our staff.

Visits beyond visiting hours are discouraged. No children below 12 years of age are allowed.

After visiting hours, registration with our nurses to obtain the Visitors Pass is compulsory. Permission will be granted subject to patient’s condition and doctor’s approval.
