Home nursing in Dubai — common questions
How quickly can a nurse visit me at home in Dubai?+
For routine bookings, typically within 2–4 hours. For urgent needs (IV antibiotics, post-discharge care, wound checks), we aim for under 90 minutes across central Dubai.
How much does a home nurse visit cost in Dubai?+
A standard nurse home visit at Aafiyah Care starts at AED 350, including travel within central Dubai. Specific procedures (IV infusion, complex wound care, catheterisation) are quoted on top.
Can a nurse give IV antibiotics at home?+
Yes — under a doctor's prescription, our DHA-licensed nurses administer IV antibiotics, IV fluids and other infusions at home, with vitals monitored throughout.
Do you provide overnight or 24-hour nursing care?+
Yes — for post-operative recovery, palliative care or elderly care, we arrange shift-based or live-in DHA-licensed nurses, coordinated by a lead GP.
Is home nursing covered by Dubai insurance?+
Most international and premium plans (Cigna, Bupa Global, AXA, Allianz, Daman) reimburse home nursing when medically indicated. We provide coded invoices for claims.
How long does a home nurse take to arrive in Dubai?+
Routine nurse visits are scheduled within 2–4 hours, and urgent needs such as IV antibiotics, post-discharge checks or wound review are usually covered in under 90 minutes across central Dubai. Ongoing care packages are booked into fixed daily slots so the same nurse returns at the same time.
What does a home nurse visit cost and what is included?+
A nurse home visit starts from AED 350, including travel within central Dubai, vitals, and the prescribed task itself. Procedures such as IV infusions, complex wound care or catheterisation are quoted on top, and consumables are itemised in advance. Shift-based and live-in nursing is quoted weekly or monthly.
Are your home nurses DHA-licensed and doctor-supervised?+
Yes. Every nurse is a DHA-licensed Registered Nurse working to a written care plan signed off by one of our GPs, never as an unsupervised technician. The supervising doctor is named on your plan and reviews progress, and licence details appear on your invoice.
What nursing care can be given at home, and what cannot?+
At home our nurses give injections and IV antibiotics or fluids under prescription, dress and review wounds, manage catheters, stomas and feeding tubes, monitor vitals, take bloods, and support post-operative, elderly and palliative patients. Anything needing continuous monitoring, oxygen therapy, blood transfusion, ventilation or theatre must be done in hospital — we arrange the referral.
Which Dubai areas do you cover for home nursing?+
Home nursing runs across the whole Dubai emirate — Business Bay, Downtown, DIFC, Dubai Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, JVC, JLT, Al Barsha, Mirdif, Deira and Bur Dubai — in villas, towers, hotels and serviced apartments. We are not an insurance-billing clinic — you pay at the visit and we issue a fully coded invoice (diagnosis and procedure codes, clinician licence details) that most international and premium UAE plans reimburse.
What to look for in a home nurse in Dubai
Choosing home nursing is a clinical decision, not a convenience one. Use these criteria before booking any provider — with us or anywhere else.
- 01
DHA licensing
Every nurse must be individually DHA-licensed for the procedure being performed. Ask to see the licence number — reputable providers publish it.
- 02
GP supervision
Home nursing without a supervising GP is task-work, not care. Confirm there is a named doctor who signs off the care plan and reviews outcomes.
- 03
Sterile technique
Injections, IVs, wound and catheter care carry infection risk if done poorly. Ask how sharps, drapes and equipment are transported and disposed of.
- 04
Written care record
Every visit should generate a clinical note in your medical file — not a WhatsApp message. Continuity depends on the record, not the memory of the last nurse.
- 05
Escalation pathway
If observations deteriorate, who does the nurse call, and how fast can a doctor attend? A clear 24/7 escalation route is non-negotiable for elderly and post-op care.
- 06
Insurance-ready invoicing
Coded invoices matter for reimbursement. Ask whether the provider issues ICD-coded documentation compatible with your insurer.
The Aafiyah standard for home nursing in Dubai
We treat home nursing as clinical care delivered outside a clinic — not a hospitality service. Every visit sits inside a GP-led care plan, written into your medical record, and audited to the same standards as our Business Bay consultations.
GP-supervised
A named family-medicine consultant owns the care plan. Nurses execute; doctors decide.
One medical record
Every home visit is documented in the same record as your clinic bloods, consultations and prescriptions.
Named continuity
Where possible, the same nurse returns for the same patient — familiarity is safety.
Sterile field
Full sterile technique for every injection, IV and wound intervention — hospital-grade in a home.
24/7 escalation
Observations that fall outside range trigger an immediate GP call — day or night.
Insurance-ready
ICD-coded invoicing and clinical documentation designed for international insurer reimbursement.
Nursing care by need
Each service is prescribed and reviewed by a named GP at our Business Bay clinic, then delivered at home by a DHA-licensed nurse.
Post-Surgical Nursing at Home
Wound checks, drain and dressing care and recovery monitoring after discharge — dispatched from one DHA-licensed clinic and reviewed by your GP.
From AED 350 →IV Therapy & Infusions at Home
Doctor-screened IV drips and infusions delivered at home by DHA-licensed nurses — prescribed after a clinical review, not chosen from a menu.
From AED 550 →Blood Tests at Home
A DHA-licensed nurse draws your bloods at home — and a named GP calls you to explain what the results mean, rather than emailing a PDF.
From AED 350 →Injections & Medication at Home
IM, subcutaneous and IV medication given at home by DHA-licensed nurses — on prescription, with a GP reviewing the plan.
From AED 350 →Catheter Care & Change at Home
Urinary catheter insertion, change, flushing and troubleshooting — discreetly at home, by nurses trained in complex continence care.
From AED 350 →Chronic Disease Monitoring at Home
Diabetes, hypertension, heart and respiratory monitoring at home — nurse visits, home bloods and the same GP reading every result.
