Olaide WaheedWith 150 beds, and 11 theaters, Life Anncron Hospital has to schedule its visiting hours to ensure that it strikes a balance between the need for patients to receive high quality medical care, and also for them to receive visits from their family members and closest friends.
When patients get visits from friends and family, they can make faster recovery because the love and encouragement they receive can give them a psychological boost to quickly get back on their feet so that they can return home to their regular lives.
In order for them to receive these visits safely and to obtain all the benefits that come with the visitations, the following schedules have been set.
