General ban on visits
Due to the high incidence figures and the current resolutions of the federal and state governments, a general ban on relatives visiting the MHH applies again since 01 December 2021. The delivery room and the paediatric clinic are exempt from this regulation. The existing rules continue to apply there, see below for further information. Individual arrangements are possible, for example, there is an exemption for seriously ill or dying patients. The ban on visitors serves to protect the patients and the staff of the clinics. Accompanying persons (if necessary) are still permitted for outpatients.
There are no testing facilities at the MHH. If you need a test result for the departments listed below, a list of Corona test centres in the city and region of Hannover can be found on the Hannover city pages, please click here (in German).
Establishment of a pick-up and drop-off service
In order to ensure that the necessary material and laundry supplies for the inpatients can continue to be provided by their relatives, a fetch and bring service has been set up. Relatives can drop off the necessary items at the Service Point in the main hospital every day between 2 pm and 7 pm.
If you have any questions, please call the visitor hotline at +49 511 532-5100,
Regulation for delivery room, paediatric clinic and palliative care unit
-
At the MHH Children's Hospital the rule is: One fixed visitor per patient for the entire stay. Exceptions to this visitor rule are possible for the palliative medical situation as well as for accompanying dying patients.
One and the same accompanying person/partner may:
- in the delivery room for the birth
- in the operating theatre for a caesarean section (sectio).
The partner proves a negative test from a recognised test centre or complete vaccination or recovery.
- The woman giving birth, the accompanying person as well as the obstetric team wear a mouth-nose protection (MNS) during the birth.
- During outpatient appointments/presentations, the accompanying person must wait outside the clinic.
- For important joint decisions (e.g. birth mode discussion), the accompanying person is called into the examination room for a joint discussion with the doctor.
1. one visitor per patient and day is admitted from 3 pm to 6 pm.
For the accompanying person, 2G+ applies, i.e. fully vaccinated visitors require a test certificate from a recognised test centre. Accompanying persons who have not been fully vaccinated and unvaccinated persons are unfortunately not permitted.
