Guidance for patients and relatives bringing food into hospital

For the safety and well-being of our patients, we strongly request that visitors refrain from bringing outside food into the hospital. External food items can pose risks to patient health and disrupt treatment plans. Our Catering Department strives to customise meals to meet each patient’s specific dietary needs. Patients are encouraged to communicate any dietary requirements directly with a dietitian, catering officer, catering supervisor or senior nurse.
