Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia is on the USM health campus in Kubang Kerian, a short drive from Kota Bharu, and serves families across Kelantan and the surrounding east-coast districts. Homes in this area are often single-storey with a step or two at the entrance and several relatives sharing the day, so it helps to settle early who is doing what and when.

Ask for the discharge instructions in writing — transfer method, medication times and warning signs — and prepare the room and bathroom the person will actually use, not the one they used before.

This is not a hospital service. Confirm discharge instructions, ward policies and clinical care directly with Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. For emergencies call 999.
