Aga Khan University Hospital on Thursday, February 25 launched Home Care Services as part of its strategy to increase access to quality care, guided by the hospital’s commitment to take its services closer to where people work and live.
The hospital first introduced home care services as a pilot programme in 2022 targeting oncology patients especially those undergoing chemotherapy treatment and palliative care.
Among the services offered under the Home Care Service, include, nursing care, physiotherapy, chemotherapy, doctor visits, counselling psychology, nutrition support, palliative care, collection of samples for laboratory testing, free delivery of medications, and wound care among other follow-up care services.
“For patients who need continuing care like those under treatment for chronic diseases, we are coming to your home so that you don’t miss the care you need because of any inconvenience,” hospital CEO Rashid Khalani stated during the launch ceremony.
