This is the most unique service that we have for critically ill patients at home. We have a team of qualified Doctors, Nurses, Dieticians, Physical Instructors & Mental Health Specialists. The team coordinates with the doctor/hospital of the patient and guides the homecare patients regularly. A situation may arise where the nurse at home needs to consult a medical condition with her senior, or the patient needs to have a change in the diet regimen or dose titration based on the latest blood test. In all such very common scenarios, an efficient team is always working remotely and being connected instantly via video call.
