The government has not provided the need for a self test (swab-test) before visiting UMMC. UMMC also accepts Covid-19 confirmed patients if the patient is already diagnosed.
To protect patients and staff, UMMC only allows one visitor per patient per day.
Visitors just need to test their temperature when entering the ward block, if their temperature is normal, they are allowed to visit patients, even without showing a swab-test.
UMMC provides Orthopaedics Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics &, Gynaecology, Psychiatric, Otorhinolaryngology, Ophthalmology, and other specialist or outpatient services.
