NMC’s ProVita takes dialysis services right to patients’ homes

UAE’s healthcare providers are investing heavily in out-of-hospital services

Dubai: Healthcare services in the UAE are coming direct to the home. Patients suffering kidney failure issues can tap longer term dialysis at home itself through NMC ProVita. This service will involve doctors, therapists, and nurses attending to dialysis patients at their chosen schedule in their homes.

"It's time for people to access better healthcare services, and in Dubai, we have facilities that are now reaching the doorsteps of patients,” said Michael Davis, NMC’s CEO. “We continue to work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure that all necessary COVID-19 measures are in place to allow home care services to be delivered by our professional staff.

“There is an increasing demand to improve the way we deliver dialysis care. By advocating patient-centered innovation, we can continue to provide a service that supports high-quality and high-value care to dialysis patients across the UAE."

NMC ProVita is a provider of post-acute care and rehabilitation services across the UAE. It provides long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, homecare and hemodialysis services.

According to Clancey Po, President of Operations at NMC Healthcare, said: “Home dialysis patients can dialyze from the comfort of their home, giving them better control of their treatment schedules, more time for themselves, their families, their jobs, and the activities they enjoyed before starting dialysis. This service will also rule out traveling and lengthy waiting times, which is an additional cost and unnecessary burden. With this endeavour, we aspire to provide an improved quality of life for dialysis patients"
