Admission Information

Thank you for choosing Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong!


You may have some questions about what to expect during your stay. That is why we have compiled an Admission Information booklet to provide answers to the common questions from patients and visitors. Here you will find the general information on the procedures and processes that may take place before admission, during your stay and upon your discharge.

Your doctor or the clinic staff will have made the necessary reservations for your admission and will guide you through the pre-admission registration. At the Admission and Cashier Office, fee advisory will be offered to ensure that you understand fee estimation during hospitalisation and payment process.

It is advisable for you to arrive at the hospital 2 hours before the scheduled procedure. However, if your doctor has instructed blood on standby for your operation, you should check in to the hospital at the appropriate time for blood grouping and cross-matching as advised by your doctor.

To ensure a smooth and hassle free admission process, please bring the following documents to the Admission and Cashier Office on the admission day:

  • Your doctor’s referral / admission letter
  • Valid HKID Card / Passport / Birth Certificate
  • Medical benefit card or letter of guarantee from your insurance company / employer (if applicable).

We will not be able to perform any surgery without the presentation of appropriate identification upon admission.

You may wish to pack the following items to make your stay at Gleneagles more comfortable:

  • Intimates, pyjamas (front opening is preferred), dressing gown
  • Closed slippers, preferably skid-proof (as you must always be in footwear)
  • Familiar toys for children, such as a favourite toy or doll
  • Any necessary equipment or special devices (eyeglasses, hearing aids, wheelchair, CPAP mask etc.)
  • If you are required to attend regular physiotherapy sessions, please bring some comfortable sportswear

Please leave jewellery, credit cards, large amounts of money and other valuables at home. Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong will not be responsible for any loss in the hospital. 

To keep you and your loved ones safe during your hospital visit, we highly encourage everyone to follow the practices below:

  • Always clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub to maintain hand hygiene.
  • Individuals with respiratory conditions or symptoms related to the respiratory system should wear a surgical mask during your visit. Caregivers for these individuals are strongly encouraged to wear surgical masks as well to minimise the chance of infection transmission.
  • Visitors who experience fever or illness should avoid visiting the hospital and seek medical attention immediately.
  • Visiting hours may change without prior notice in response to any changes of the Pandemic Response Level of the Department of Health.
  • Individuals suspected of or diagnosed with an infectious disease will have to be admitted or transferred to a single or isolation room (where new room fees apply) to reduce the risk of cross-infection in the hospital.

Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong believes that patients should have peace of mind upon admission to the hospital. As such, we have developed a series of Standard Packages and Hospital Packages at pre-determined prices to cover the most frequently performed procedures.

Hospital Packages include all nursing care, room and meal charges and the stated treatment normally associated with the procedure; doctors’ fees are not included. Standard Packages, restricted only to standard room accommodation, include all of the charges in the Hospital Package and all associated doctors’ fees.
