Illness does not wait for daylight. A child’s fever, a high blood pressure reading or a worried elderly parent at 2 a.m. can leave a family confused, and travelling across Dhaka at night is not easy. A 24-hour home doctor can help in many of these situations. Here is how it works with our doctor home visit service in Dhaka.
When a night doctor at home can help
- Fever or body ache in an adult or an older child
- Stomach pain, vomiting or loose motion that is not severe
- Blood pressure or blood sugar worries in a known patient
- Weakness or confusion about medicines in an elderly patient
- Discomfort after surgery or hospital discharge, when the patient is stable
When you should not wait for a home doctor
Go to the nearest hospital or call 999 at once if the patient has chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, signs of stroke (a drooping face, a weak arm or slurred speech), heavy bleeding, a fit, loss of consciousness or a serious injury. A home visit is for non-emergency care only.
How to book a doctor at night
- Call +880 1707-372002.
- Say clearly that it is a night visit and give the address with a landmark.
- Tell us the patient’s age, the problem, current medicines and any allergies.
- Keep your phone on so the doctor can call you if the road is hard to find.
What to do while you wait
- Keep the patient calm and comfortable.
- Keep medicines, prescriptions and reports ready.
- Note the temperature or blood pressure if you have a thermometer or a machine at home.
- Do not give new medicines without a doctor’s advice.
- Tell the building guard that a doctor is coming, so there is no delay at the gate.
Is the night fee different?
A night visit can cost differently from a daytime visit. Please ask us for the night fee when you call. For the full list of what changes the fee, read how to book a home doctor in Dhaka and what it costs.
Night nurse for longer care
If the patient needs someone to stay and watch through the night, a registered nurse can help. See our home nursing care in Dhaka. We serve many areas across Dhaka, and you can see them all on our service area page.
