On the day of admission
Whilst most surgical patients are admitted in the morning of the planned surgery, some conditions require pre-operative preparations and anaesthetic evaluation which necessitate coming into hospital a day earlier.
In most cases, you will be asked to arrive at the hospital for admission about two hours prior to your scheduled surgery. When you arrive, please come to the Admissions office. Do not forget to bring your admission form, insurance card, and identification card with you to speed up the admission process. Present this to the receptionist when you arrive.
Personal items
The hospital provides dressing gowns. You may however, wish to bring your own clothes, bedroom slippers and toiletries. Clothing should be loose and preferably front-opening.
We recommend that you leave all valuable items at home.

All patients are required to fill the registration Form and Admission Slip at the time of admission. The sign of first and second relatives will be valid in the Admission Form. (Registration fee INR 300/-). On admission, an In-Patient Number (IP. No.) will be generated and the same is to be quoted for any enquiry. Admission note from your doctor will help us in making procedure smoother and faster.
On admission, deposit is to be submitted at Patient Billing Department as per following schedule. The amount depends on the class selected and the case type.

Arriving for your appointments

Patients arriving late for their appointments are considered a walk-in patient and their appointment waiting time might increase considerably. In certain circumstances, visits may need to be rescheduled.
Not arriving for an appointment without prior notice deprives others from obtaining an appointment at the clinic. Kindly call in advance to cancel or reschedule your appointment if required.
