1. 💉 Injections, Antibiotics, and Prescription Treatments

Did your doctor prescribe you an injectable treatment or a round of intramuscular antibiotics? There's no need to head to a clinic.
Our licensed nurses come directly to your home to administer medications safely and professionally. Whether it’s
vitamin B12 injections, anti-inflammatories, or antibiotics, everything can be done right from your couch.

Why is it better at home?
✅ No waiting
✅ No stress
✅ Personalized, private care

2. 🩹 Wound Care and Bandages

Cut yourself while hiking in La Fortuna? Got injured surfing in Tamarindo? Or maybe just a kitchen accident?
You don't need a clinic to treat a wound. Our nurses can come to you to
clean, disinfect, and dress the wound, monitor healing, or change post-surgical dressings — all while avoiding the risk of infection, which is particularly important in a tropical climate like Costa Rica.

Perfect for:
👉 Active tourists (surf, hiking, biking)
👉 Expats and families with children
👉 Seniors with chronic wounds

3. 💧 IV Drip: Hydration, Vitamins & Recovery

The popular IV drip, or intravenous therapy, has become a go-to for recovery and wellness in Costa Rica. Whether you're feeling run-down after a long flight, dehydrated from the sun, or just in need of an energy boost, you can now receive a vitamin infusion right in your villa or hotel.

These IV drips are packed with electrolytes, B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium, and more, offering fast, efficient recovery.
Perfect for recovering after
a night out (hello hangover 🥴), boosting your immune system, or supporting muscle recovery after a workout.

Our most requested IV cocktails:
💧 Energy Boost
🧘‍♀️ Immunity Support
🔥 Hangover Recovery

4. 📈 Chronic Conditions or Post-Hospital Follow-up

If you’re managing a chronic illness (like diabetes or high blood pressure) or recovering after surgery, you don't always have to return to a clinic for follow-up care.
Our nurses provide regular
monitoring from home: blood pressure checks, glucose monitoring, wound surveillance, injections, dressing changes — all with the comfort of staying in your own space.

Best for:
👵 Elderly patients
👨‍⚕️ People with long-term conditions
🛌 Patients recovering from surgery

5. 🧪 Blood Tests and Lab Work at Home

Need a blood test but dread fasting in a crowded waiting room? With our mobile nursing service, a certified nurse comes to you, draws your blood sample, and delivers it to a trusted local lab.
You then receive your results
online or via WhatsApp — no commuting, no waiting.

Perfect for:
🕐 Busy professionals
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families and kids
📲 Digital nomads and retirees

🏥 You Don’t Always Need a Clinic
