How to become patient at Foch Hospital?
Should you be willing to be cared at Foch Hospital, please read and apply the following process.
Your admission to Foch Hospital
Our international Department will organise your care pathway in coordination with the service you will be assigned to, based on the medical reason you came for.
The good roll-out of your stay will be ensured by an identified referring doctor, who will work closely with the other specialists you may see during your treatment.

Upon your arrival
Unless otherwise indicated, present yourself with your convocation at the central reception desk in the hospital hall. The receptionist will provide you with a circulation form and your appointment programme for the day and will direct you to the secretariat of the International Department to confirm the validation of your financial cover and thus your admission.
At the end of your stay
Before you leave Foch Hospital, do not forget to pass by the secretariat of the International Department to retrieve your complete medical report, while organizing the return to your country of origin.
Visits of your relatives
Your relatives can visit you from 1 pm to 8 pm every day. Please make sure that they come as a small group.
Nurses can provide you with recommendations to be scrupulously followed based on your health conditions.
In addition, please note that for the sake of health and well-being of patients, cut flowers, or potted flowers, cannot be accepted in all services.
Accompanying person
For patients who occupy a particular room, a member of their family may be allowed to stay close to them and have a meal to be covered by the latter.
The nursing staff can help you arrange the arrival of this accompanying person.
Interpreting
In the event you need an interpreter, the International Department can provide you with contact details of professionals that you can liaise with for this purpose.
Bedrooms
The Foch Hospital has about 600 beds. Private rooms are allocated based on availability.
Sometimes, depending on the rhythm of the departures, it is impossible to attribute, at the arrival, the particular room requested by the patient during the registration. Nevertheless, the teams of the hospital will make sure to solve this issue as soon as possible.
Meal
We offer menus adapted to your tastes. If your health conditions require it, our dieticians can design specific diets according to medical prescriptions.
Each morning, a caregiver offers several menus and takes your order for your meals of the day.
Worship
During your stay at the hospital, you can be accompanied by volunteers and ministers of the various religious denominations.
Should you want to see one of them, ask the healthcare team of the service you are staying in to request for a visit.
Logistics outside the hospital
Should you be looking for logistical support (hotel, transport) outside the hospital, we will put you in contact with a relevant partner.
