NO SCRUBS, BUT A MEDCARE NURSE IN PPE WILL COME TO YOUR HOME TO ADMINISTER YOUR PCR TEST<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the emirate, you can have anything delivered to your door, from petrol and daily groceries to your favourite Starbucks order or a three-course meal from the most sought-after fine-dining haute spot, one UAE hospital group has raised the game and is offering at-home PCR testing.<\/p>\n

Instead of queueing for a test at the mall, your nearest hospital, medical centre or clinic, or drive-through, for Dhs250, Medcare will send a fully gowned-up nurse to your home, office or address of your choice to administer your test. Your sample is then submitted to a certified lab for examination, and the results of your test will be shared back with you within 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in a series of home service offered by Medcare which include visits from doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists, and also selected vaccinations and lab tests. For a full list of home services, visit\u00a0medcare.ae\/en\/home-services<\/a>. To book a home service, click\u00a0here<\/a>. You will be asked to share your name, Emirates ID, contact email, address, preferred service and preferred date.<\/p>\n
