SOS Médecins Marrakech · 24/7
A home doctor for older people in Marrakech
When getting about becomes difficult, a doctor comes to examine your loved one at home.
Narrow staircases in the houses of the Médina, derbs (lanes) that cars cannot enter, the summer heat: for an older person, going out to see a doctor soon becomes an ordeal. SOS Médecins Marrakech sends a doctor to the home for an acute problem, a follow-up or a renewal of treatment, in liaison with the family – including when the children live in Europe and arrange the visit from a distance.
What the doctor can do
- Home examination and general health check
- Follow-up of chronic illnesses (blood pressure, diabetes, heart…)
- Adjustment or renewal of treatment
- Referral to a specialist or a healthcare facility if necessary
When should you call us?
- Unusual tiredness, confusion, a fall
- Fever, urinary or chest infection
- Dehydration, especially in hot weather
- Treatment to renew for someone who no longer goes out
Preparing for the visit
- Gather the prescriptions, the latest test results and the list of medicines.
- Arrange for a relative to be present if possible.
- Give the floor and the access (lift, stairs).
Frequently asked questions
Can the family request the visit from a distance?
Yes. A relative, in Morocco or abroad, can call us or message us on WhatsApp to arrange the visit; just give us the address and the useful information about the patient.
Can the doctor provide regular follow-up?
The doctor can see the patient again at home depending on their condition and coordinate the follow-up with their regular doctor.
