Information for relatives
Someone close to you is in our intensive care unit. This is an extraordinary situation for you as a relative, too. At Zuger Kantonsspital, we not only care for critically ill patients, but we are also here for you. Your visits can make a big difference to your relative’s well-being.

Focusing on the patient’s wishes
We do everything we can to understand the values and wishes of critically ill patients and to respect their wishes as fully as possible. To this end, we inform patients about the available treatment options and involve them in the choice of therapy.
If a person is no longer able to express themselves, we reconstruct their presumed wishes with the utmost care. This is based on their advance healthcare directive, as well as the knowledge of their relatives and GPs.
