A doctor at your door, when getting out is hard
For those who can't easily travel — the frail, the recovering, the seriously ill — a physician home visit brings clinical review and reassurance to the bedside. Available for routine follow-up, chronic review, and urgent non-emergency house calls across Nairobi.
When a home visit makes sense
Doctor home visits are ideal when travelling to a clinic is difficult, risky, or simply exhausting.
Routine follow-up
Scheduled reviews after discharge, surgery, or a change in medication, without the trip to a clinic.
Chronic disease review
Physician review of long-term conditions, adjusting treatment in the comfort of home.
Urgent house calls
Same-day, non-emergency assessment within Nairobi when a symptom needs a doctor's eye quickly.
Retained and independent physicians
We draw on both our retained Medical Officer and a network of independent doctors to match the right clinician to your need.
Retained Medical Officer
Our own retained physician provides continuity for ongoing patients and clinical oversight of home care.
Independent doctors
For specialist input or scheduling flexibility, we coordinate trusted independent physicians.
Coordinated care
Whichever doctor visits, findings are documented and shared with your regular physician and care team.
How to book a visit
- Call or message us with the patient's situation and what the visit is for.
- We triage the request and confirm whether a home visit is appropriate or whether hospital care is needed.
- We schedule the right doctor — same-day for urgent non-emergency needs where possible.
- The doctor assesses, treats or prescribes as needed, and documents the visit.
- Findings and any prescription are shared with your regular physician and care team.
When NOT to use a home visit
Life-threatening emergencies
Chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, or major trauma need emergency services and hospital, not a home visit.
Call for help first
In an emergency, call emergency services or go straight to the nearest hospital — every minute matters.
We'll be honest
If your situation needs hospital care, we'll tell you plainly and help arrange fast transfer through our MOUs.
Not a substitute for A&E
Home visits handle non-emergency assessment and review — they are never a replacement for emergency care.

“When my grandfather was too weak to sit in a waiting room, the doctor simply came to him. The visit was thorough, unhurried, and the notes went straight to his cardiologist. It was care with real dignity.”
