Every procedure and treatment requires different preparation protocols, which your doctor will discuss in detail with you before admission.
However, there are several guidelines that apply to all procedures, which you should be aware of while preparing for your appointment.
- Avoid alcohol completely the day before you are booked for treatment
- If you smoke, stop or reduce smoking as much as possible. This is particularly important t if your procedure will include general anaesthetic.
- If you are suffering from a cold or any other illness please inform your doctor immediately because your admission may be deferred to another day.
Be sure to bring your toiletries and other personal effects such as nightclothes and dressing gowns, slippers, any current medication, tooth brush, comb or hairbrush and books or magazines.
However, please do not bring valuables, jewellery or large amounts of cash during your hospital stay. While all care will be taken, Suva Private Hospital cannot guarantee the safety of these items.
