Points to be considered during patient visits;

• Patient wards can be visited between 10.00 -22.00. These hours are organized taking into account the care and sleep times of the patients. Visiting hours in intensive care units are specific to the department. Please observe the specified visiting hours.
• Patient visits should be made in accordance with the procedures determined by our hospital, in a way that will not cause situations that will disturb the peace and tranquility of the patients.
  Please do not insist on visiting the patient in special cases that the doctor does not allow.
• In intensive care units, patient visits are not allowed in case of an emergency. In the wards, make sure that the visiting time does not exceed 15 minutes and that there are no more than 2 visitors in the room.
• In intensive care units, please follow the visiting times of the department (detailed information is available at the entrance of each intensive care unit).
• It is not appropriate to bring children under the age of 15 to visit the patient.
