First Mobile Doctor service in Malaysia


What role a mobile doctor plays

We are proud to announce the service of Malaysia’s first MOBILE DOCTOR.
While house visits of a doctor are standard procedures in most European countries it is still a novelty in Asia.
This leads to the situation where in particular the elderly population has to travel to hospitals and clinics, seeking medical attention often for simple ailments and/or for a medical prescription of drugs, or taking laboratory specimens for analysis. This does not just cause a lot of discomfort for the patient but is also a time and cost consuming affair to the family which has to make the necessary arrangement often requiring ambulance transport service.
This is one of the problems we have been facing over the last few years of our mobile nursing service and we have decided to employ our own mobile doctor.
This mobile doctor does not merely serve our own clients but is also available to nursing homes, and family that might require medical attention for a family member who might find it difficult to get to a clinic or hospital.
The doctor has the back up of a Pathological Lab. Service, where blood or other specimens may be sent for analysis. Being attached to a mobile nursing service it might also facilitate swift and uncomplicated nursing attention as may be required by the patient.
The service is currently available in the Klang Valley. It comprises amongst others:
Medical check up
Taking of medical specimens
Providing medical prescriptions
Settings drips and other medical procedures
Advising and counseling patients and families in respect of the management of the illness
Liaise with hospitals (doctors) where the patient may be in treatment prior to discharge into mobile nursing care at home
Provide initial medical diagnosis and recommend further medical investigation or hospitalization as may be appropriate.
The Mobile Doctor Service is available from Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 6.00 pm, On Saturday from 90.00 to 13.00pm
Those needing this service may call: 03-78777202 asking for the Mobile Doctor Service.
