Bronovo Hospital building for your future

April 2010

Bronovo Hospital is embarking on a series of renovations in the near future and will begin with the renovation of the 20 year old Margriet ward on the fifth floor. The total renovation of the Margriet ward will take place from May until the autumn of 2010.

What is the result of the renovation?
Bronovo Hospital does its best to meet the wishes of the patients. For this reason, Bronovo Hospital chose for renovation and modernisation of the nursing wards. The current maternity ward will be renovated to maternity studios. This will result in 16 one-person studios and 2 two-persons studios. The current fourperson rooms will disappear. The new studios mean for new mothers, partners and their babies more privacy and comfort.

Bronovo offers parents to watch baby
24 hours per day via a webcam

29 March 2010


Since March Bronovo has offered a new service: live viewing of your baby 24 hours a day. Parents whose baby has been
admitted to Bronovo will be able to watch their baby 24 hours a day using the Bronovo baby webcam via a secure internet connection.

Parents whose baby has been admitted to the hospital do not like to leave their child there alone, but it is also not possible to spend every minute of the day with their baby. This service allows these parents to see live images 24 hours a day - wherever they have internet access - of their child in the incubator or cot via the Bronovo baby webcam. The images are live and cannot be saved or stored. The camera has not been fitted with a microphone, meaning that the images are not accompanied by sound.

Patient organisations give Bronovo
recognition for its colon cancer care

24 March 2010

Bronovo has received recognition from various cooperative cancer patient organisations for the quality of care given to patients with colon cancer (colorectal carcinoma). With this recognition the cancer patient organisations demonstrate that Bronovo completely meets all the quality requirements that these organisations have set.

The patient organisations Stichting Doorgang (Foundation for people with cancer of the digestive tract), Polyposis Contact Group, HNPCC-Lynch Association, the Dutch Stoma Association and the Dutch Federation of Cancer Patient Organisations (NFK) have tested Bronovo on the care for patients with colon cancer based on 15 stipulations. The tests revealed that Bronovo meets all the set quality requirements and performs well on the aspects that are important to the patient organisations.

A patient guide was set up using these criteria. The patient guide provides information about the quality of care, such as responsibility, multidisciplinary cooperation in the hospital and with general practitioners and home care and optimal support given to patients during the treatment, consultations and follow-up care.
