Post-surgery nursing care at home in Dubai
Wound dressing, injections, catheter care, drain management and mobility support by a DHA-licensed nurse at home, as a single visit or a daily series, coordinated with your surgeon. Visits start from AED 100.
Hospitals in Dubai discharge patients earlier than they used to, which is good for recovery but leaves families managing dressings, injections, drains and medication schedules on their own. A home nurse takes that load: the wound is cleaned and dressed properly, blood thinners are injected on time, a catheter or drain is handled hygienically and any sign of infection is caught early and reported to your surgeon.
We care for patients after orthopaedic surgery (hip and knee replacement, fracture fixation), abdominal and bariatric surgery, caesarean section, cardiac procedures and cosmetic surgery, as well as elderly patients returning home after a hospital stay. Visits can be booked as one-off dressing changes or as a daily plan for one to four weeks, with the same nurse where possible.
When to book
- Discharged with a wound that needs dressing every day or every other day
- Prescribed daily injections you cannot give yourself
- A catheter, drain or stoma that needs professional handling
- An elderly relative who needs nursing support for the first weeks at home
- Post-natal recovery after a caesarean section
