In principle, your doctor decides on the duration of your stay. But as a patient you have the right to leave the hospital whenever you want. If this happens against the doctor's advice, you must sign a document stating that you are leaving at your own risk. The doctor then declines all responsibility for the consequences of your departure.

You can freely choose your hospital, unless you are transported by 112 in an emergency. If your doctor is affiliated with a hospital, your freedom of choice is also limited. In principle, your doctor contacts the hospital to record the admission and make the necessary medical arrangements (e.g. reservation of an operating room). You can compare hospital rates with the ' Compare Hospital Rates ' application.
