What must I expect during the hospitalization?

The time at the hospital is used for receiving treatment, resting, and recuperating but most of the time patients and caregivers focus only on the treatment aspect and then discharge. Although treatment is a major part of the hospital journey, which includes clinical, investigative and maybe a small procedure or major surgery – rest and recovery is also important. There should be sufficient rest given to patients for the best treatment results.

Can the patients have a care-giver and receive visitors?

We at Gleneagles Global Health City, believe that emotional support and well-being are equally important to a person’s recovery. And therefore, encourage you to bring along one care-giver who is available with you at all times. This caregiver should be a close relative or family member or a personal friend. We allow visitors at designated hours. The visitors are, however, discouraged to visit patients in intensive care or undergoing a critical procedure for the benefit of the patient. Also, visitors must keep in mind other patient rights and their own responsibilities while visiting.

What is the expected outcome of hospitalization?

The ideal expectation for everyone leaving the hospital is complete for a disease or disorder. However, in most cases, especially for major procedures or disorders a hospital stay may be to achieve a lesser, but more specific objective. A patient is therefore encouraged to learn & understand the expected outcomes of the hospitalization. Patients must understand that in most cases, the end of hospitalization is not necessarily the end of the treatment cycle. Subsequent visits may be necessary or you may be on medication.
