FAQ

 

What must I expect during the hospitalization?

The time at the hospital should be utilized for receiving treatment, resting, and recuperating but happens most of the time is that the patients and caregivers are only focused on the treatment aspect and then the hurry of discharge. Although treatment is a major aspect of the hospital journey, which includes clinical, investigative and small procedures or major surgery but rest and recovery are equally critical. There should be adequate rest given to patients for the best results.

What must I bring along for hospitalization?

Patients must bring along the following list of items for hospitalization at Gleneagles Global Hospital:

  1. A referral letter from your treating physician.
  2. Original copies of identification such as a Passport, relevant Identity Card, Birth Certificate (for patients below 15 years), Driver’s License, etc.

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

We always encourage patients to get a close relative or a family member or a friend along at all times for mental and emotional support for the patient. But when a patient is undergoing intensive care or critical procedure we highly discourage visitors for the patients’ personal benefit and faster recovery.

What is the expected outcome of hospitalization?

Completely healing a disease or a disorder is the ultimate aim of any doctor and patient. Still, in some cases, especially for major illnesses just a few days of stay at the hospital may not be able to achieve that goal 100 percent. Hence, we encourage patients to learn and understand the likely outcomes of hospitalization. Patients must understand that in most cases, the end of hospitalization is not certainly the end of the treatment cycle. Succeeding visits may be necessary or you may be on medication.

Preparing for Surgery

admission guide

A surgical intervention is often necessitated to help a patient overcome sickness and resume normal activities. Surgeries could be emergency procedures or elective procedures. In case of the former, the situation allows for little preparation. However, in latter cases, it is advised that patients be well-informed and well-prepared to ensure improved results. Preparation of surgery ought to involve the following,

  • Detailed discussions with your doctors on the need for surgery.
  • Complete understanding of the procedure and outcome.
  • Undergoing relevant medical investigations for the surgery.
  • Seeking insurance approval and/or arrangement of funds.

Preparation for surgery also involves the mental readiness of a patient, and in some cases the consent and approval of the immediate family. Discussions with doctors, counsellors & staff aid this process of preparation.
