Home nursing is a specialized health service that aims to provide medical and nursing care to the patient in his home, providing him with comfort, privacy, and continuous follow-up without the need to stay in the hospital.

The importance of home nursing:

    1. Patient comfort
      allows patients to receive treatment in a familiar and comfortable environment that is home, reducing anxiety and stress.

    1. Saving time and costs
      reduces the need for long hospital stays and thus reduces financial burdens.

    1. Comprehensive
      care that includes monitoring chronic conditions, administering medications, caring for wounds, monitoring nutrition, and measuring vital signs.

    1. Supporting the elderly and people with special
      needs provides them with ongoing care that helps them in their daily life activities.

    1. Enhancing family communication:
      The presence of the patient among his family members contributes to raising his morale and accelerating his recovery.

    1. Infection
      prevention reduces the chances of a patient being exposed to infections that may be transmitted in hospitals.
