  2. Bring a small amount of money for newsprints, coffee and do not bring too much money since theft can occur inside the hospital.

  3. Bring comfortable clothing such as pajamas and undergarments that is enough for the length of stay.

  4. Pen and paper just in case you need to place a note for your doctor or nurse while you are sleeping.

  5. Phone card so that you can make calls from the phone inside your room.

  6. Bring your toiletries.
