View code of conduct and visiting hours.

Children visiting

For reasons of security and hygiene, we ask that no children under the age of 14 be allowed to visit, except in special circumstances. Please speak with the Head Nurse or Team Leader for clarification in these cases.

Overnight Guests

As a private hospital, our philosophy is to take care of all of our patients' needs. Your family can rest assured that you are in good hands and receiving the best care: every patient is provided with 24-hour nursing service and three delicious and nourishing meals a day.

FV Hospital allows one overnight visitor per patient, in single rooms only. However, we do not allow overnight guests in double rooms, for the safety and comfort of both patients.

An additional charge per night will be made for this service, in single rooms (which includes breakfast in our 1st floor cafeteria). For children under 14 years old who are hospitalized, an overnight visitor can stay free of charge in the room (no extra overnight pass can be purchased, in this case).

If your guest would prefer to stay in a hotel, please ask the ward staff for a list of hotels available in the area.

Receiving Information About the Patient

Relatives can telephone at any time of the day, or night, for information about the patient. However, we can only give very basic details about the state of the patient over the phone, due to patient confidentiality, unless the patient has specified otherwise.
