Health and Infection Control

To ensure that our patients and staff are protected from avoidable health risks, we ask that you adhere to our health and infection control guidelines. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
 

Flowers as Gifts

Flowers are a popular gift. Please arrange any flowers you bring with you yourself. Vases are available on the ward in the designated rooms. For hygiene reasons, potted plants are not permitted in patients’ rooms. Please also refrain from bringing strongly scented cut flowers such as lilies or hyacinths. Their intense scent may affect patients’ well-being.
