Public health establishments and private health establishments authorised to provide the public hospital service are obliged to inform the doctor designated by the hospitalised patient or his family by letter of the date and time of admission and of the department concerned. At the same time, they shall invite the doctor to contact the hospital department, to provide any useful information about the patient and to express any wish to be kept informed of the patient’s progress.

During hospitalisation, the head of department or, where applicable, the doctor responsible for the patient’s care, will provide the doctor designated under the above conditions with all information relating to the patient’s condition, at the latter’s written request.
