HOSPITAL Quirónsalud Marbella Has launched a brand new Home Care Unit The purpose is to allow certain diagnostic procedures, care, and interventions in healthcare to be performed directly at the home of the patient. This initiative increases continuity of care, reduces travel and is particularly useful in situations where a part of the healthcare process can safely be carried out outside of the hospital.

The unit was designed to provide three distinct but complementary types of healthcare. The unit provides nursing care in the home to patients with chronic illnesses, those who are elderly or have reduced mobility, and for those who need periodic attention or certain techniques. It also performs at-home procedures to prepare patients for surgery as part of a preoperative pathway. It also offers structured follow-up after surgery, helping patients recover from hospital discharge.
