These new regulations have been adopted to take better account of the rhythm of patients and the rest cycle necessary to help the healing process. It also enables us to maximise the time dedicated to care and treatment under optimal conditions, keeping the interruption of visits to a minimum and also increasing the safety of the patient and staff.
