If you feel too unwell to travel, need support for a loved one, or prefer a private setting, our experienced family doctors come to your doorstep with clear plans, gentle bedside manner, and direct access to follow up care.
What Is a Home GP Visit?
A home GP visit brings a qualified doctor from SwissMed Clinic directly to your home, hotel, or workplace, so you can receive medical care without visiting a clinic.
During the visit, the doctor reviews your symptoms and medical history, performs a physical examination, and provides a diagnosis with immediate treatment when possible. Prescriptions and medical reports are issued on the spot, and any further steps or referrals are arranged before the visit ends.
What We Do During a Visit
Home GP visits are suitable for both adults and children and cover a wide range of common health concerns.
- Treatment for fever, cough, cold, flu, infections, and allergies
- Monitoring vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, oxygen levels, and blood sugar
- Wound care, dressing changes, and follow-up of stitches
- Pain management and medication adjustments
- Post-hospital care including review of discharge reports and recovery planning
If needed, the doctor can arrange specialist referrals with a clear summary of your condition.
Add On Services at Home
To make care more convenient, additional services can be arranged during or after your home visit.
- Home blood tests and laboratory services
- Nursing care and follow-up visits
- IV therapy at home for hydration or treatment
All results are shared with your GP to ensure your treatment plan is updated quickly and accurately. If imaging is required, appointments are coordinated for a smooth and fast process.
