Admission

Patients are normally informed about the date for their admission or operation directly by the Outpatients’ Department, or by telephone from the Bureau Opname (Admissions Office).

If you have been asked to fast before being admitted or if you are having treatment as a day patient, you can contact the Bureau Opname (Admissions Office) between 14.00 -16.00 hrs one weekday  before being admitted to find out what time you are expected and on which ward. You can also contact the Bureau Opname (Admissions Office) for general questions about your stay in hospital. Telephone lines are open from Monday to Friday from 08.00 – 12.30 hrs and from 13.30 - 16.30 hrs on 070 312 46 82.

With regard to our policy on preventing MRSA infections, it is important that you let us know if you have been in hospital in another country within the last twelve months.

Contact person
Please identify a contact person whom we may contact if the need arises (family, friends etc.). Remember to let ward staff know the name, address and phone number of the designated contact person. Ask friends and acquaintances to contact this person to find out how you are. It is also possible to designate a second contact person.

Special documents
Please inform your hospital specialist and/or nurse and your designated contact person if you have a living will (advance directive) or if you are a registered organ donor.

Room layout
The wards have several single, double, three-person and four-person rooms with lockable wardrobes for each patient. These wardrobes can be locked by inserting a two Euro coin in the slot. When you open the wardrobe, you get your coin back and you must reinsert the coin to lock it again.

The layout of the rooms depends on the type of care you require. The difference in rooms does not affect the quality of the care nor the treatment that you receive but is simply a question of how many people share one room.

Mixed wards
Men and women are sometimes cared for on a mixed ward in Bronovo Hospital. The advantage of mixed wards is that more efficient use can be made of the available beds, which can help to reduce waiting lists. If you have any objections to being nursed on a mixed ward, please inform the Bureau Opname (Admissions Office) so that we can try to take this into consideration.

Bronovo Star Service
During your stay in our hospital, you can use our 'Star Service. With this service, the hospital offers you six Star packages that have extra facilities aimed at providing services that are better adapted to the wishes and needs of the patient. A Star package will give patients the opportunity to apply for additional services.
