in hospital. The leaflet aiso outlines the general ward routine and gives details of visiting hours.

kapan harus ke rumah sakit untuk dirawat inap. Dengan surat ini, sebagian besar rumah sakit
melampirkan selebaran untuk memberi tahu pasien, apa yang akan ia butuhkan saat ia berada di
rumah sakit. Leaflet juga menguraikan kegiatan rutin dan memberikan perincian jam kunjungan.
