Doctor comes home – home visit
We used to see the important role of the doctor who came home in old black and white films. Doctor home visit service was the first choice for patients in the eighties and nineties, and there was a family doctor for every family who knew the medical history details of all family members. After that, the doctor home visit service disappeared, due to the appearance of private clinics and the inability of doctors to balance the patient’s visit at home with their private clinics.
The family doctor’s service declined too, with the increase in the number of patients visiting the private clinics, it became difficult for the doctor to remember the medical history of all patients, and doctors visits in the clinic were limited to diagnosing symptoms only and not a continuous follow-up of the patient’s health state in general.
But recently, the need for doctor home visit services has increased, so what is the reason behind that?

The development of technology and the appearance of many health care companies that provide all medical services at home which save the time and effort of the patient and his family in visiting hospitals or clinics led to increasing demand for doctor comes home service.

You can request a general practitioner, a specialist, or a consultant when requesting doctor comes home service, but what is the difference between them?
