Queen Elizabeth Hospital is in Kota Kinabalu and serves families across Sabah, including people referred in from outlying districts and from Labuan. Many families travel a long way for an admission, so the journey home is worth planning as carefully as the stay itself, right down to who is waiting at the house.

Confirm the transfer method, medication schedule and warning signs in writing before you set off, and make sure someone can help the person from the vehicle to the bed at the other end.
