Doctor House Call
At our clinic, we take great pride in the quality of our house call services. Our approach is particularly beneficial for patients who are immobile or find it challenging to leave their homes for medical care. Our team of doctors is not just skilled in general medical practice; they are leaders in the field of home-based healthcare. They have played a pivotal role in developing and implementing innovative ‘hospital-at-home’ programs, which have been successfully integrated into public hospitals. Their active participation in these programs ensures they are adept at managing a wide spectrum of patient needs, from routine check-ups to more complex medical issues.
Furthermore, our doctors’ expertise extends beyond traditional medical care; they are dedicated to providing a high level of personalized, compassionate care to each patient in the comfort of their own home. This commitment to excellence in healthcare is reflected in the positive outcomes and the satisfaction of our patients who choose our house call services.
In addition to our doctors, we have a robust team of Housecall nurses and Allied health therapists. After the doctor’s visit, these highly trained professionals can continue the care, providing services such as administering intravenous fluids or medications, and offering physiotherapy. This comprehensive care model ensures that our patients receive a continuum of care that is not only convenient but also tailored to their individual health needs. With our house call services, patients can rest assured that they will receive quality medical care without ever having to leave the comfort of their own home.
