CHANDIGARH, Oct 29: Max Healthcare has announced to bring its medical expertise and patient care to people at the comfort of their homes, under its new venture Max@Home today.

“The idea of Max@ Home came from our observation of trends in the social fabric of family system, which is especially observed in Punjab, where most geriatric population lives alone. Also the disappearance of family doctors especially in metros and urban centres and people coming to tertiary hospitals for even basic healthcare services,” Rohit Kapoor said.
“We have forayed into this new vertical starting with Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali, to help patients in the tricity recover faster and lead a comfortable life with independence and dignity. Max@ Home is providing nursing care attendants, physiotherapists and doctors for home visits. We also arrange for home sample collection, free medicine delivery and facilitate medical equipment on rent.” said Sandeep Dogra.
Vaibhav Poddar said that Max@Home will soon offer the distinguished service of an X-Ray at home – which is already being delivered in Delhi NCR. Home safe – portable machines fit for home usage would be available for patients who are immobile due to illness or disability or at high risk. The X-ray machines would be operated by hospital-trained technicians and the report will be prepared by trained radiologists at Max Hospital “We would ensure that the report quality is the best”, he added and report delivery would have provision of physical reports delivered at doorstep.
Disclosing the unique feature of this service, Dr Malik said that going further, the unique feature of these services would be the availability of medical equipment at home which is a new feature in the region.
