 Dr. Russell Pinto, Honorary Consultant, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), FMAS at Holy Family Hospital & Medical Research Centre, Bandra (W), inaugurated the hospital’s newest healthcare initiative, Home Medicare recently at the hospital’s Front Garden. The service is designed to bring essential healthcare services directly to patients’ homes, ensuring comfort, convenience and continuity of care for individuals and families across Mumbai.
The launch ceremony also includes a blessing of the Home Medicare service and its dedicated mobile van by Rev. Fr. Nigel Barrett, Parish Priest of St. Andrew’s Church, marking the beginning of a new chapter in community-centred healthcare delivery.
Home Medicare is a comprehensive home-based healthcare service that offers a range of medical and supportive care solutions, including doctor visits, nursing visits, physiotherapy, home sample collection and medicine delivery, allowing patients to receive professional medical support without the need for frequent hospital visits.
Dr. Russell Pinto adds, “Many patients today require ongoing medical attention but prefer to recover in the comfort of their homes. Home Medicare bridges this gap by providing hospital-grade care outside hospital walls, without compromising on quality, safety or professional oversight.”
Home Medicare is provided exclusively to homebound patients. With trained medical professionals and a dedicated mobile unit, Home Medicare ensures timely, efficient and patient-centric care.
Services offered under Home Medicare are Doctor’s visit for personalized consultations, nursing care for recovery and ongoing support, physiotherapy services, home sample collection and medicine delivery.
The launch of Home Medicare marks a significant step in Holy Family Hospital’s commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible, personalised and patient-friendly, especially for those who need continuous medical support beyond hospital premises.
Established in 1942, Holy Family Hospital is a charitable institution providing compassionate and high-quality healthcare. Serving over 300,000 patients annually, including more than 20,000 who receive free or subsidised care, the hospital remains committed to accessible treatment and community health.
