Overnight Visitors

When visiting someone in the hospital, it is inappropriate to lie in the hospital bed, with or without the patient. In pediatric wards, the parent can request an additional bed to sleep in at night only if space is available. Respect the privacy and personal space of other patients who share the same room. Hospitals may charge for an extra bed and meals. Because they are not directly related to the patient’s care, those charges will not be reimbursed by TRICARE.

Packing for a Hospital Stay During hospitalization, you may need:

  • Your ID card for admission or emergency care
  • A list of medications you are currently taking
  • Towels and washcloths
  • Nightgown or pajamas, slippers and robe
  • Personal hygiene items
  • Euros for the telephone or items you may wish to buy
  • Notebook and pen
  • Books, magazines or newspapers
  • Snacks
  • Bottled water (mineral water is common in Host Nation hospitals)
  • Dictionary (a Host Nation Patient Liaison will give you a medical phrase book)
  • Set of clothes for going home after discharge from the hospital
  • DVD/earphones
  • Bras (necessary regardless of whether you are breast or bottle feeding)
  • Kleenex
  • Phone numbers/address book
  • Clock for your bedside
  • Car seat (this is German law!)
  • Diapers

Please don’t bring any valuables!
In general, don’t bring money, jewelry or other valuables. The hospital or clinic will not assume responsibility for lost or stolen items. In most of the clinics, you will be able to check valuables or money on admission or secure your things in a patient locker.

If you experience any problems during your stay, please inform your Host Nation Patient Liaison.
