FAQ

 

What must I bring along for hospitalization?

The list of items to be brought for hospitalization at BGS Gleneagles Global Hospitals includes – health insurance card, medical records (current & previous), investigation reports and consultation/prescriptions from the OPD. Additionally, patients are also encouraged to bring some of their personal items such as glasses, hearing aids etc., but advised to refrain from bringing expensive jewellery, watches and other such valuables. We encourage you to come light and only with the most essential items to make your stay easy & hassle-free.

What must I expect during the hospitalization?

Hospitalization is a time for you to receive treatment, rest and recuperate. Patients often consider only the first part and overlook the remaining two. The treatment could be clinical, investigative and may involve a small procedure or major surgery (depending upon the case). The major part of the hospitalization stay will be allocated to the treatment part. However, a vital component of your hospital stay is also to be able to rest & recuperate. Allowing the body sufficient rest from everyday stress is vital to the treatment course.

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

At BGS Gleneagles Global Hospitals, we encourage you to bring along one care-giver who is available with you at all times. This could be a close relative or family member or a personal friend. We understand that your health is important to your friends and loved ones and they would have the desire to visit you to know of your well-being. We allow visitors at designated hours, in a manner that is not disturbing to other patients. Visitors may not be allowed for highly critical cases and patients in intensive care.

What is the expected outcome of hospitalization?

The expected outcome of hospitalization can and should be discussed with your respective doctor prior to admission. Each patient could have a different threshold limit to be relieved from the hospital. It is important to note that the end of hospitalization is not the end of the treatment cycle. You may require subsequent visits, medication and consultation to complete the overall treatment and overcome your sickness. The end of hospitalization simply means that you no longer require constant monitoring and can rest at home or undertake daily activities.

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.
