Important information for patients
Does your state of health render a stay in hospital necessary? Then please, first of all, contact the office of the relevant clinic or specialist unit and arrange an appointment. On the day of your scheduled admission, please go first to the gate at the main entrance, where we will take down your patient details, including your name, address, telephone number and nationality, insurance status and, where applicable, payment exemption. To find out exactly which documents you need to bring with you, please see the checklist we have put together for you: checklist.
Important information for visitors
Visits from family and friends are particularly important during a stay in hospital. They relieve the monotony of hospital routine and so promote the well-being of all patients. But please do bear in mind that you will usually share your room with other patients, so please be considerate. Consideration includes, for example, that your visitors do not all come at the same time, but spread their visits over the day, and also that the quiet time without visits between 12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. is observed.
