Medical Home Care
Medical Home Care in Nairobi – Registered Nurses and Doctors at Your Door
Not every medical need requires a hospital bed. Dressings, injections, IV antibiotics, catheter changes, blood sugar control and post-discharge monitoring can all be done safely at home by a qualified nurse, saving you the traffic, the queues, and the risk of hospital-acquired infection. Makao Home Care provides home nursing services in Nairobi delivered by registered nurses licensed with the Nursing Council of Kenya (facility licence {{NCK_LICENCE_NUMBER}}), coordinated with your doctor and backed by a clinical lead.
Choose a single visit, a daily visit, a 12-hour day or night nurse, or round-the-clock nursing.
