Most families do not plan to need a doctor or nurse at home. It happens suddenly: a parent comes home from hospital, an elderly relative cannot get out of bed, or a dressing needs changing and nobody in the house knows how.
The good news is that arranging a visit is simpler than it sounds. This guide walks you through how to arrange a doctor at home or a nurse at home in Lahore with InstaCare: which one you need, what to keep ready, how much it costs and how to book.
Do You Need a Doctor or a Nurse?
The two services do different jobs, and many families need both.
| Doctor at home | Nurse at home | |
| What it is for | Examination, diagnosis and treatment advice | Carrying out care your doctor has advised |
| Typical examples | Fever, cough, body pain, review after discharge, long-term condition review | Dressing changes and wound care, stitches removal, prescribed injections and IV medication, blood pressure, blood sugar, temperature and oxygen checks |
| Prescription needed? | The doctor prescribes where appropriate | Yes, for any medicine, injection or IV treatment |
| Best when | The patient needs a medical opinion and cannot travel | The doctor has already set a care plan and it must be followed at home |
Not sure which one to book? Tell our team what is happening when you call. They will suggest the right service. Our guide to home nursing services in Lahore explains the nursing side in more detail.
How to Arrange a Home Visit, Step by Step
- Call or message us. Reach InstaCare on 0317 1777509 or WhatsApp. The WhatsApp message opens with three lines for you to fill in.
- Say which service you need. For example, a doctor’s consultation, a dressing change, a prescribed injection or regular monitoring.
- Share the patient’s details. Age, main problem and your area in Lahore.
- Send the papers. A photo of the prescription, reports or discharge summary on WhatsApp is enough.
- Confirm the time and price. We tell you the availability and the exact amount before anyone is sent.
- Receive the visit. The doctor or nurse comes to your home at the agreed time.
When you are ready, book a doctor or nurse at home in Lahore from our service page, or just call.
What to Keep Ready Before the Visit
A few minutes of preparation make the first visit smoother and more useful:
- The patient’s name, age and main problem
- The doctor’s prescription, recent reports or the discharge summary
- A list of current medicines, with doses and timings
- Any allergies, especially to medicines
- Your full address and a phone number for someone in the family
- A clean, well-lit space where the patient can rest
- A family member who knows the patient’s history and can be present
If the patient needs blood pressure, sugar or temperature readings at home, keep the monitoring devices ready if you already have them.
Timings, Areas and Fees
| Area | All of Lahore |
| Timings | 10 AM to 10 PM |
| Fees | Start from PKR 2,500 and vary by service |
| Price confirmation | Exact amount confirmed before the visit |
Fees depend on what is needed. A consultation, a dressing change and an IV drip with monitoring are different services, so the price differs. We always tell you the amount for your situation first.
If you need care outside 10 AM to 10 PM, call the helpline and our team will tell you what can be arranged. If you are unsure whether we cover your neighbourhood, call or WhatsApp with your location and we will confirm.
Safety: Prescriptions and Emergencies
Our nurses give medicines, injections and IV treatment only as prescribed by a doctor. They do not change doses or decide treatment on their own. Keep the prescription ready for the first visit.
Home visits are for planned, non-emergency care. In an emergency, do not wait for a doctor or nurse to arrive. Call Rescue 1122 or go to the nearest emergency department if the patient has:
- Severe chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
- Sudden weakness, facial drooping, slurred speech or confusion
- Loss of consciousness or a seizure
If you are unsure, treat it as an emergency.
