Hospital Stay

Welcome to Kalinga Institute Of Medical Sciences (KIMS) System. While you are our guest, we will work hard to provide you the very best health care in a safe, comfortable environment. We want to help make your stay as stress-free as possible and have compiled helpful information for those patients staying overnight or longer – and information for their families, friends and carers – from admission details, what to take into hospital with you, our facilities, plus follow-up advice when being discharged from hospital.

Here are some important things to know before you leave for the hospital:

1. Please bring your insurance cards or have the necessary insurance information from your Blue Cross, Aetna, Medicare, HMO or other insurance plan with you. Necessary insurance information that you should have includes your insurance plan name, group number, type of coverage and identification number.

2. Please understand that Kalinga Institute Of Medical Sciences (KIMS) discourages you from bringing valuables such as jewellery, watches and money with you to the hospital.
