Neurology Service: Communication COVID-19.

Madrid March 20, 2020

Dear patients, family and friends,

In connection with the situation created by the coronavirus infection, we have adopted a series of special measures aimed at protecting our patients and families, as well as our staff.

The actions taken are as follows before Covid-19:

  • The Neurology Department ( First Floor, Hospital Ruber Internacional) will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
  • In order to reduce the risk of contagion for patients and their families, and for our staff, we are trying to defer face-to-face consultations.
  • Urgent care will be provided immediately in our offices or in the emergency area of the Ruber Internacional Hospital.
  • Patients who have been previously studied in our Service can contact the responsible physician by telephone (+34 913875250) or e-mail(info@neurologiaclinica.es).
  • If the patient and family want an appointment in the next days or weeks, the possibility of telephone or telematic consultation (Skype) is offered.
  • If the patient and family require a face-to-face consultation, the reason for the consultation will be considered and an attempt will be made as soon as possible.
  • Persons presenting symptoms compatible with COVID-19 infection should refrain from consulting us. In this case we offer care through the emergency access enabled for this purpose at the Ruber Internacional Hospital.
  • Our personnel are protected with masks and gloves.
  • Cleaning and disinfection of the reception and medical offices have been reinforced.

At the appropriate time, attendance will be normalized.

Thank you very much for trusting us. Together we will overcome this situation.
