There are no attendants in intensive care units.

Visitors are admitted to the adult intensive care units 1 (one) time a day at specified hours and the patient’s first degree relatives are informed about the patient.

In the neonatal intensive care unit, the baby’s mother and father are brought together whenever possible to ensure skin-to-skin contact with the baby.

Precautions are taken to prevent infection during the visit. (visitor shirt, cap, mask, hand sanitizer, etc.).

Physical contact with our patients (such as shaking hands, kissing on the cheek) should be avoided. There is a risk of getting an infection from our patient or carrying an infection to our patient.

During the visit, do not sit on the beds and avoid contact with anything in the hospital environment. Before the visitors are admitted to the ward, nurses explain the rules they must follow and the importance of hand hygiene. Before entering, the hands are disinfected with hand sanitizer under the supervision of a nurse and visitors are allowed to enter. Visitors are prevented from contacting any device or patient during the visit. At the exit, visitors are ensured to have their hands disinfected again with hand sanitizer.

Children under 18 years of age and pregnant women are at higher risk of infection in hospital settings than adults, so it is inadvisable for them to visit patients.

Visitors with any infectious disease (cold, diarrhea, etc.) or skin wounds are not accepted.

In special cases, patient visits may be restricted on doctor’s orders.
