Visitor’s Policy

Policy on Patient Companions:

As a policy, only one companion is allowed per patient. Patients admitted in the ICU, and other critical areas, will not be allowed to have a companion stay with them. However, companions may visit them periodically at specific times. Please ask the Customer Care for details of visiting hours.

Once the patient is shifted from room to the ICU / OT, the patient’s attendants will have to vacate the room with immediate effect and hospital will provide bed roll for slipping in dormitory for one attendant.

No visitors are permitted except visiting hours. Children below the age of 12 are not allowed at all. Only 2 Visitors at a time is permitted to visit the patient during visiting hours and 1 visitor in the ICU. Such visitors may visit the patient when the attendants handover the passes to them.

• Nurses may ask visitors to leave the room if the patient’s condition so warrants or if hospital policies are not being observed
