Visiting KEMH - Information Guide
Being a patient, or the parent/carer of a patient, in a large hospital can be an unfamiliar and intimidating experience. We hope the information produced by the hospital can help make your visit or stay as easy as possible.
Visiting Hours
Visiting hours at the hospital are between 8am and 1pm and 3pm and 8pm. Visiting hours have been amended to ensure women are provided with adequate time to rest during the day. Prior arrangements must be made for visits outside of normal visiting hours.
Visitors to the Special Care Nurseries, Delivery Suite and Adult Special Care Unit are subject to special requirements. All visitors to these areas must check first at the area reception desk.
