Patient rooms
Each patient has the right to enjoy a quality hospital treatment that guarantees safety and efficacy, and respects his privacy and dignity.
Medical Institute Bayer is dedicated to providing high quality services to every patient, which means peace, equipped and separated men’s and women’s hospital rooms, which contributes to the preservation of privacy and dignity of patients at the moment when they are most sensitive.
We have completely aligned our accommodation capacities with the requirements regarding this issue.
Female and male patients stay in different rooms.
Sharing space with members of the opposite sex will occur exclusively in exceptional situations when this is inevitable based on clinical needs, for example, where patients need specialized equipment in areas of critical concern.
But even in such circumstances, we are trying to reduce any inconvenience.
It is possible that visitors of the opposite sex will enter the room where the patient’s bed is, and this may include patients visiting each other. Nurses, doctors and other staff of the male and female sex will enter the patients’ rooms.
What does this mean for patients?
If a patient needs help to use a bathroom, a member of the medical staff will be with him, but other patients will not use the bathroom at the same time.
If you experience any problems such as pain, choking, insomnia, use the bell and the doctor and nurses on duty will be with you at the same moment. At Medical Institute Bayer , a patient is not alone, he is always in the safe hands of our medical staff and problems are solved immediately.
If you want to talk to the Director of the Center Dr. Kabil, he will always be available to talk to you.
Nurses will gladly provide you with answers to all your questions, what kind of treatment you are using and why and it is used by the device.
All patients like to be informed, this is your right and our duty.
Medical Institute Bayer continuously monitors all areas of trust in order to maintain the desired standard of stay for all patients.
The Center advocates dignified treatment and will continue to provide safe and effective services and to work to ensure that all patients are treated equally, with dignity and respect.

Infection control
The risk of infection by hospital infection is very low, but about 8% of patients in any hospital in the world at any given time may have staphylococcal infection.
Infection control is one of the key priorities in Medical Institute Bayer . We are among the most successful in the region when it comes to controlling infections, of course, with the engagement and cooperation of staff, patients and visitors.
One of our best weapons to fight infections is to ensure that patients and visitors get their hands washed on entering and leaving hospitals and departments.
The hand washing is insisted because antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise. In order for the patients at the hospital to be safe, we all have to look after the hygiene, regularly wash our hands and use antibacterial soaps.
