Discharge Procedure

During your stay at the hospital the health care team will explain in detail about your post- hospitalization care needs, expected discharge date, and ways to obtain your follow-up care. All medical supplies needed at the time of discharge will be discussed and issued by the discharge nurse. Patient Care Executives (PCEs) will coordinate and ensure that all discharge arrangements are made at least a day prior to your discharge date. We advise you to be accompanied by a family member or a friend on the day of discharge to make a note of dos and don'ts post- discharge, basic self-help techniques and health education. All discharges are usually carried out between 10 am and 12 pm. Your duty nurse will inform you about the exact discharge time.  Please note that the entire discharge procedure can take around 3 hours.
