Admission to the hospital<\/h1>[vc_column_text css=””]On the day of your admission to hospital, you should report to the General Registration in the morning\u00a0on empty stomach<\/strong>\u00a0(except for patients taking medicines for high blood pressure and diabetes who should have a light breakfast and take their medicines according to doctor\u2019s indications) to register for a selected Clinic. Please, bring with you\u00a0a valid insurance card<\/strong>\u00a0(or other document that entitles you to receive a health service under universal health coverage) and your\u00a0identity card<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

Patients with pre-set chemotherapy date are not required to report to the General Registration.<\/p>\n

Then, you will be referred to the Clinic to see a doctor who will make sure that there are no contraindications for hospitalisation;<\/p>\n

Upon admission to a hospital ward, you will be asked to state a name and phone number of a contact person for matters related to you;<\/p>\n

If you are admitted to a hospital on a pre-set date, you should bring the following with you: two pairs of pyjamas, bathrobe, two towels, hygiene articles, toothbrush and toothpaste, your creams and body lotions, slippers, socks, cutlery and cup or glass;<\/p>\n

You can leave your personal stuff at the hospital; however, due to the shortage of space, we recommend that your family take your overcoat home;<\/p>\n

Any valuables can be left with the hospital cashiers but, if possible, please do not bring them with you;<\/p>\n

Please, bring with you any medicines that you use on a constant basis (e.g. those for diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases) for the whole predicted period of hospitalisation; note, if you are going to be treated at a radiotherapy unit, this may be up to six weeks;<\/p>\n

We do not demand that you present your medical test results, but if you have any, please, bring them with you; also, please, provide any discharge reports from other hospitals;<\/p>\n

Patients can be visited on any day; there are no fixed visiting hours, except for the Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Department which is open to visitors between 11:00 am \u2013 7:00 pm;<\/p>\n

The Centre houses a chapel where masses are held; a catholic priest visits patients every day with Holy Communion; confession can also be made at the chapel or in the wards;<\/p>\n

Smoking is strictly forbidden within and in vicinity of the Centre;<\/p>\n

The Centre does not offer any parking spaces: therefore, you may be charged for parking near the hospital between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday-Friday according to the municipal rates;<\/p>\n

The Centre allows patients to pursue their hobbies, such as needlework, watching films or reading books (library available on-site);<\/p>\n
