We offer an a la carte menu from which you will be able to select your meals each day. A waitress will take your order and serve your meal. The kitchen is open until 18h00 daily. Where necessary, your doctor will prescribe a diet for you.
We also have a dietician available for consultation.
Ward Routine
The nurse looking after you will discuss the planning of your day. She will introduce herself to you shortly after the 07h00 and 19h00 hand-over.
Telephone
There are call boxes for your convenience. Phone cards are available in the
coffee shop. The staff will take messages and pass them on to you but it will not be possible to call you to the duty room phone. Cell phones will be allowed provided they are turned off during doctor's rounds and when the staff are carrying out procedures.
Flower Arrangements
Please limit the number of arrangements at your bedside to two, as there is limited space available per patient for serving meals, etc. Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Radio and television
Each room is equipped with a television. Remote controls for the televisions are available. Radio controls are at the patient's bedside.
Wards and Bathrooms
These are cleaned daily and when necessary. Should they not be up to standard, please inform a nurse so that the matter can be attended to.
We wish you a comfortable stay and a speedy recovery.
