After your hospitalisation

Everything you need to know before leaving hospital

Your doctor will inform you of your probable discharge date as soon as possible. We ask you to vacate your room as early as possible before 11 am. You will be informed as soon as possible if additional examinations are going to delay the date or time of discharge. If you foresee any possible difficulties, please discuss them with your doctor or care team immediately on admission. If you have transport problems, the hospital secretary will help you find a solution (ambulance or taxi).
Please do not leave behind any personal belongings.
If you have to return for consultations, the hospital secretary will arrange your appointments.
On the day of discharge you will receive a provisional hospitalisation report to be passed on to your GP. This contains all medical prescriptions and information needed for your continued treatment. If necessary, you will also receive a liaison file containing pertinent information for the various carers (physiotherapist, nurses, etc.).
If you have complementary health insurance some insurers pay a daily allowance in case of hospitalisation on submission of a certificate of hospitalisation. To obtain this document, contact the hospital secretary before your departure or submit a request in writing to Admissions and they will send you a copy. This certificate can also serve for hospitalisation insurance.
If you leave the hospital without the doctor's agreement you must first complete and sign the "requested discharge" document with which you will be provided.
