Frequently asked questions
When should I book a doctor home visit instead of going to a hospital?
Choose a home visit for stable but unwell patients: high fever, flu, mild dehydration, urinary infections, blood pressure or diabetes review, wound assessment, and routine check-ups for the elderly or bedridden. Call emergency services for chest pain, stroke symptoms, or severe trauma.
Which doctor specialties are available for home visits?
Hospitalia provides General Practitioners, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Cardiology, and Endocrinology home consultations. Specialists are scheduled within 24–48 hours.
How fast does a doctor arrive in Cairo?
GP visits are typically available within 2–4 hours in most Egypt neighborhoods. Same-day specialist visits are available in central districts.
What does a home doctor visit cost in Egypt?
GP home visits in Cairo start at EGP 500–900, depending on district and time. Specialist visits range from EGP 1,200 to EGP 2,500. Telemedicine consultations start at EGP 250.
Can the doctor prescribe medication and order lab tests?
