Unless instructed otherwise by the physician, patients are advised not to bring any prior medication. Admitted patients are requested to inform ward staff immediately of all medication and how frequently it is currently taken. All medication received during a patient’s stay is administered by the Hospital pharmacy and is dispensed from the nursing station. Patients must inform their physician or nurse of any drug allergies to avoid complications.
