Hospitals are now providing homecare services for COVID-positive patients
In Delhi, when a septuagenarian suddenly took ill and developed high temperature, her family immediately contacted HealthCare atHOME — a personalised home healthcare provider in India — to rule out the possibility of COVID-19.
“My mother-in-law is already bed-ridden. A month ago, she developed certain symptoms starting with fever. We feared the worst since her immune system is already compromised because of other health problems.
I have two small children and my father-in-law is a heart patient, too. We started keeping our distance. Eventually, we contacted the team of HealthCare atHOME because we had used their services earlier as well.
They came and selected a room with an attached toilet in our 3BHK. The whole house was sanitized. A nurse arrived in PPE, and she was the only one in contact with the patient. There was a doctor on call who kept giving instructions. We got a COVID-19 test done, results of which arrived in 36 hours. Thankfully, it was negative.”
