We advise against bringing any valuables (large amounts of money, jewellery, watches, etc.) with you to the clinic. The cupboard in your room contains a safe with a key for personal items or small amounts of money. It is also possible to deposit items in the safe at the Reception, for which a receipt is issued. The clinic will assume limited liability for valuables deposited in the room safe in certain cases (Art. 487 Swiss Code of Obligations), but full responsibility for valuables deposited in the central safe at Reception (Art. 488 Swiss Code of Obligations). The clinic cannot assume responsibility for valuables not deposited in the safe. Hand disinfection Hygiene is paramount in Klinik Hirslanden. In our ISO-certified clinic, hand disinfection of the staff and the doctors is one of the most important standard hygiene measures to prevent infection. If any questions on this important subject arise during your stay, please do not hesitate to discuss them with the nursing staff or the hospital hygiene team. We work according to the concept of patient-oriented care to address your needs and wishes in a targeted manner. A personal carer is assigned to you and your relatives as your contact person for any nursing-related questions during your stay. She plans and coordinates your nursing care and is responsible for providing you with professional support. Our nursing regime is tailored to help you regain your independence as quickly as possible, to boost your health in general and to provide support in crisis situations.
