A human hospital is an accessible hospital, therefore your parents and your close friends and relatives are welcome. Their presence at your side can be a great source of comfort. This is why visits are authorized from 8 am to 8 pm. However, to aid the smooth running of care and treatment, please suggest they arrive after 10 am. In the event of a medical necessity, visiting hours can be adapted.
