There's no good reason why mobile phones shouldn't be used in hospitals. In the "good old days" when they were the size of a brick, and none of the equipment had RF filters in it, then there might have been a problem, but the latest tests show no effects from mobile phones. Indeed most of the nurses and doctors carry them, so if there was a problem it would have shown up by now. Added to that most of the maintenance staff and porters use PMR which has a much higher output than mobile phones, Not to mention all the visitors standing outside the window using their mobiles, and the whacking great mobile phone mast just outside the hospital.
