What’s the first thing that you do when you have any healthcare emergency and need a doctor?

Search the relevant hospital, clinic, or the doctor….

Take an appointment… lucky if you can get it the same time or same day.

Travel all the way to the hospital, wrestling the weather and traffic.

Wait for your turn among other people who may also be sick.

Most likely go to other departments or facilities to get more tests done.

Wait for reports and come back for the next round of consultation.

From this point to the final recovery, you would have spent endless number of hours and energy on travelling, scheduling appointments and waiting in queue for something that could have easily been achieved from the comfort and safety of your home with any JCI accredited healthcare-at-home service provider.

In a post-covid world, our society is moving towards remote and digital-led transformations at an unprecedented rate. More than ever before, with the help of technology, on-site healthcare service delivery, healthcare-at-home services have the ability to efficiently manage majority of primary (non-emergency) health care needs in home settings, giving hospitals and clinics enough time and space to manage secondary & tertiary (emergency and hospital admission) care effectively, that’s the reason why more and more people prefer getting treated in the privacy and comfort of their home.

Teleconsultation refers to speaking with a doctor and taking their general consultation on your health problem over a phone or video call. While it’s more comfortable, it does not offer much beyond a verbal check-up and in some cases, a prescription for medicines.

Whereas doctor at home is exactly what it sounds like. A licensed, experienced, and well-trained doctor along with a nurse come to your home, ready to not just offer consultation but fully treat you following international standards (JCI), taking medical history, doing investigations and treatment along with all required follow-up dose administration till you recover. The vehicle of this team is well equipped with required POC devices and equipment to capture vital signs and manage any emergency. Equipment like BP Machine, Glucometer, ECG machine, Pulse Oxymeter, Nebulization and oxygen ..etc

All you have to do is call the service and sit back. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Because it is.

There are national and international bodies who are working round the clock to ensure that healthcare facilities abide by every single protocol laid down to ensure patient safety and quality of care. And that is why if you are seeking medical help, you must look out for the following licenses and accreditations when choosing their healthcare-at-home provider:

• Dubai Health Authority (DHA): The DHA is the official health authority in Dubai and runs a thorough process-check for every healthcare facility established and functioning in the Emirate. The patients must always ensure that their healthcare facility is licensed by the DHA.

• Joint Commission International (JCI): The JCI is an international accreditation recognized across the world for its patient safety process and quality of patient care. It’s always advisable to choose a healthcare facility that is accredited by the Joint Commission International to ensure that its quality of care & patient safety is uncompromised.

You can find many home healthcare companies operating in UAE.

But among those, First Response Healthcare prides itself to be the only Dubai-based home healthcare facility accredited by the JCI for its uncompromised patient safety and quality of care.

“Great experience! On-time service at the comfort of your home. Nurse Edith was super polite and comforting to my daughter. Highly recommended.”

“On our travel, we had to call a doctor for my one-year-old daughter who got sick. Dr Iqra came to the hotel and did the consultation. Nurse Joe went with the doctor to help her and give her the medicine she needed. My daughter got a virus infection and was treated on the spot. After treating my daughter, Dr Iqra gave her a WhatsApp number, and at any time, she was prompt to answer my questions about my daughter’s health and improvement. My daughter wasn’t drinking enough water, and Dr Iqra decided to give her more fluids. So nurse Anna came to the hotel room and gave more fluids through my baby’s vein. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Very professional team, responsible and careful. Thank you to all the team. My daughter is 100 per cent well now. I’m lucky that I found you.”

“I fell sick in Dubai on my vacation, but First Response took care of me. From the beginning until the end, everything was perfect. Dr Alina and the nurses Skye and Laurene did take care of me and answered all of my questions. I thank all of them for their excellent job.”

“Not just first response but fast response as well. There were last minute hassles, but still they stand their ground. Thank you Arya and thank you First Response.”
