- Visiting hours
We welcome all visitors to patients, as we know what a difference the support of family and friends can make in a patient’s recovery process. In order for the patient to recuperate, the patient’s key caregivers (doctors, nurses and other allied healthcare professionals) need adequate time to ensure the patient’s treatment plan is followed; we therefore request that the visiting hours, outlined below, are respected.
General Wards:
Visitors are restricted to two visitors per patient at a time. Children are welcome, but they must have an adult supervising them.
