What information or items do I need to bring with me to the Hospital?
You bring your family history, medication in use and medical record “bukana” These will help a great deal in determining how to move forward with relevant medical assistance. Additionally you can bring only three changes of comfortable, casual clothing (wash and wear). You will also need appropriate slip-on footwear and overnight personal care items, such as a toothbrush and shampoo. Please leave any items of value at home for safekeeping. This would include jewelry, handheld gaming devices (Nintendo DS, Playstation PSP, etc.), MP3 players, personal computers and cell phones. You do not need to bring items such as razors; these will be provided on the unit.
