Are visits to the hospital allowed during the pandemic period?

During the pandemic, for safety reasons, visits are not allowed to the Hospital. This measure is necessary to ensure that both our patients and the employees of the Hospital remain safe. Thus, we minimize the number of people in our facilities and, therefore, significantly reduce the risk of spreading the virus. This practically means that if you are going to undergo a standard medical examination or an elective surgery, you will have to come to the Hospital yourself.

An exception is made only in the following cases:
• If you need special assistance to go to the Hospital.
• If your child needs to undergo an examination or be hospitalised (1 parent/guardian).
