For Your Safety
Universal Precaution
Universal precautions are taken by the hospital staff in
all the patient care activities. The precautionary measures encompass
various methods of barrier protection, when in contact with potentially or
actually infectious materials. Barrier protection includes masks, cover
gowns, gloves and eye wear.
Universal precautions followed at Kalra protect both staff and patients
from hospital acquired infection. This system has been recommended by
Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Medication
The medications that you take in the hospital are
prescribed by your doctor, specifically to be administered during the stay.
A hospital pharmacist reviews your medications and dispenses them as they
are needed. You should not bring your own medications to the hospital, and
should never take any medicine unless your doctor approves and a pharmacist
double-checks it with the other medications you are taking.
Bed Rails
The bed rails are raised for the protection and safety of
the patients. If the patient feel uncomfortable, he may call nurse to lower
the bed rails. Do not try to climb over the bed rail or lower them by
yourself.
No Smoking
Protecting the health and safety of patients, staff and
visitors is the prior concern of Kalra Hospital. Hence, it is declared as a
completely smoke and tobacco free zone. Smoking and the use of tobacco is
prohibited inside any building in the complex.
Valuables or Lost Items
The hospital maintains a safe and secure environment, but
we strongly recommend that you send all your valuables home with a family
member or friend. Please notify your nurse, if you need a locker for any
valuable. The hospital is not responsible for personal belongings or
valuables that are not secured.
Staff Identification
All the employees and volunteers at Kalra Hospital are
issued a photo identity card. Anyone providing care should have the hospital
identity card or badge. Please feel free to contact your nurse or the
