Valuables

We ask that you DO NOTbring jewelry, large sums of money, credit cards, or checks with you or keep them in your patient room. We cannot accept liability for the loss of valuables and money that have NOT been deposited with us.

Unfortunately, even in our facility, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that unauthorized persons may gain access and search the rooms in your absence. In many patient rooms, there is the option to use lockers built into the cabinets. 

In exceptional cases, you may deposit valuables, keys, and identification documents at the ward reception desks in exchange for a receipt.

Please note that GPR Klinikum is liable only for valuables deposited against a signed receipt. Your ward team will
be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this.
