TO ENSURE THAT YOUR STAY TAKES PLACE IN SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS , WE WOULD ASK YOU TO KINDLY COMPLY WITH
THESE REGULATIONS.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
Respect for the privacy of every individual is a fundamental value. Individual outings and visits are subject to the prior approval of your attending doctor. Since the Clinic is responsible for you from an administrative standpoint during your stay, outings (accompanied or not) may only take place with the written approval of your doctor, who should be advised with at least 24 hours prior notification. Permission to go out is subject to compliance with times established by you and your doctor. In the event of an excessively late return, the Clinic will be obliged to declare you no longer part of the patients hospitalised.
PERSONAL MEDICINES AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
To ensure that your stay at Montevideo Clinic is beneficial, it is essential that medication prescribed by your home doctor and other medication prescribed during your stay are known and taken regularly. This medicine will be dispensed by your nurse according to a prescription made out by the Montevideo Clinic doctor. Do not keep any medicine with you during your stay. This is always a source of confusion and inappropriate medication. When you arrive, the nurse will check that there is no other medication in your luggage and personal effects that might interfere with medicines prescribed by your doctor. The medication prescribed at Montevideo Clinic will be decided with you. You will not have to ask for it or hide it. All patients at Montevideo Clinic accept the principle of urine and blood tests and medical examinations, notably planned within the framework of substitution treatment. You will be kept informed of the results of these tests and this will help to reinforce your progress.
INVENTORY AND STAY
An inventory will be made of your room when you arrive and leave, as well as a regular inspection for a prolonged stay. The establishment declines any liability for the disappearance of personal effects. It is therefore not advisable to bring valuable items with you.
SMOKING DEPENDENCY
You are in a healthcare establishment and smoking is strictly prohibited in the Clinic by French law. It is prohibited both in rooms and common areas. Nicotine substitution treatment (gums/patches) and specific treatment to reduce the desire to smoke can be prescribed at your request after a cardiovascular examination.
VISITS
Visits are authorised from 2 to 7pm. In all cases, visitors are asked to report to Reception. Visits end at 7pm. Visits from children under the age of 15 are not permitted in rooms.

MEALS
Meals can either be taken in your room or in the tearoom on your floor, at fixed times. A healthy menu is proposed, designed for its nutritional merits and validated by our catering service for the quality of its flavour. Other diets can also be served: salt-free, sugar-free, fat-free, vegetarian with fish tolerance, strict vegetarian. Other menus are also proposed at an extra cost: kosher menu,
tray meals and sandwiches. Your meal orders will be taken by the staff on your floor, under the control of the nursing staff.
TELEVISION
Rooms are equipped with TV sets with national and international channels. When you arrive, you will be given the TV remote control in exchange for a guarantee cheque. If you do not require a TV set, this will be removed from your room.
TELEPHONE
You can ask for a direct line to be set up in your room. The use of mobile phones is not permitted in the establishment, apart from in exceptional circumstances.

PROFESSIONAL SECRECY

You are also required to refrain from passing on any information concerning other patients staying in the Clinic to persons outside the Clinic – relations and friends.

RIGHT TO ACCESS YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
You are entitled to access your medical records on request to your attending doctor, according to the conditions laid down in the law governing the rights of patients.

Compliance with these rules and regulations should enable everyone to have a pleasant stay at Montevideo Clinic.
