Patients Rights And Responsibilities

Thank you for choosing Cole Medical Center for your health needs.

Please contact us if the information you require is not listed on this page:

Email: info@coleclinic.org

We would like our patients to be fully informed about all aspects of their treatment. We are also obliged to provide clear and concise written information to patients about their treatment to aid the process of informed consent. To ensure that this happens we have a patient information database which produces information leaflets outlining general and procedure specific risks of most common procedures.

A different menu for each day of the week gives you a choice of dishes including vegetarian options.

Please discuss any special food or dietary requirements you may have with our nursing staff upon admission. We will make every endeavor to meet your requests provided they are compatible with your treatment. If you require the services of our Dietician please discuss this with our nursing staff at any time. (Charge applies)

• NEWSPAPER

The Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times will be delivered Monday – Saturday at 7.00 am on request for a fee.

• VISITING HOURS

Finney Hospital welcomes patient visits by family and friends. To promote the comfort of all our patients, visitors are asked to keep their visits brief. Please observe the following timeslots when planning a patient visit:

General Ward

6:30am – 7:00am
6:00pm – 7:00pm

Maternity Ward

2:30pm – 3:00pm
6:00pm – 7:30pm

Please note there is NO morning visiting in Maternity. We believe that women recovering from childbirth need time to rest while getting to know and care for their baby. As their time in hospital is short it is important that visiting hours are adhered to. Please do not ask as we hate to offend. All visitors to the hospital are asked to vacate the building by 7.30pm. Special arrangements can be made for immediate family or out of town patients. Please discuss this with our nursing staff.
