Malaria care at home in Mumbai

Test first, then treat — without leaving the flat.

A home blood test that names the species, a doctor who sets the course against it, and a nurse who sees it through to the last dose. Uncomplicated malaria is usually treated at home. Knowing when it is not is the part worth paying for.

₹448+per nursing visit. Tests, drips and doctor visits quoted separately.

We use your number only to arrange this care. If the patient is confused, drowsy or breathless, go to a hospital now — do not wait for a callback.

Go to a hospital now if any of these have started

Confusion, drowsiness or a seizure, breathlessness, very dark or much reduced urine, yellowing of the eyes, bleeding, or vomiting that keeps nothing down. These are the signs of severe malaria, which is a medical emergency and moves quickly. The same urgency applies to a malarial fever in a pregnant woman, a young child or a frail elderly patient. Call 108 or get to the nearest emergency room — do not book a visit and wait.

What the visit covers
  • A verified nurse for the visit, with vitals recorded in writing for your doctor
  • The prescribed antimalarial course given on schedule and tracked to the last dose
  • Comfort care through the fever and the rigors — sponging, fluids, warm cover
  • Warning signs explained to whoever is at home before the nurse leaves
  • A call to you if the picture changes, and a straight recommendation to go in when it should
What it does not
  • The blood test, the doctor's visit and IV fluids — each quoted separately
  • Medicines and consumables prescribed for the patient
  • Hospital admission or treatment for severe malaria
  • A diagnosis. We monitor and we report; your doctor decides

There is no malaria package here on purpose. The species and the patient’s condition decide how long this runs, and neither is known on the day you call.

What we bring to the house

If nobody has been tested yet, start at the first card. Everything after it depends on what the report says.

Home blood test for malaria

The rapid antigen test and the smear, collected at home and reported to your phone. The species is the answer that matters — it decides the medicine, the length of the course, and whether home is the right place for this at all.

Quoted on the call

Nursing visits and monitoring

Vitals recorded through the fever spikes, tepid sponging and fluids during the rigors, and the prescribed course given on time and actually tracked rather than trusted to memory.

From ₹448

Prescribed injections and IV fluids

Injectable antimalarials or fluids where the doctor has ordered them and the patient is still safe to treat at home. A nurse sets the line, runs it and stays with it.

From ₹548

A doctor at home

For the examination that reads the report against the patient, sets the course, and decides whether this stays at home. A patient in rigors should not be crossing Mumbai for that conversation.

From ₹2,500

How it works

01

Test first. Send the form and our Care Team calls within 5 minutes. If nobody has tested yet, that is where we start — a home blood collection, reported to your phone, because everything after it depends on which species this is.

02

The doctor sets the course. In person at home or over a teleconsultation. The species, the patient's age and how unwell they are decide the medicine and the length, and none of that is ours to choose.

03

A nurse sees it through to the last dose. Visits through the fever, the course tracked rather than assumed, and someone watching for the signs that mean this has stopped being a home illness.

What families get wrong about malaria

The species changes everything

Falciparum malaria can turn severe quickly and is treated as an emergency; vivax needs a second course to clear the parasite from the liver, which is the one people abandon once they feel well. Both look like the same fever from a sofa. The blood test is not a formality before treatment — it is the thing that decides the treatment.

Finishing the course is the whole job

Feeling better is not being clear. Stopping early is how relapses and resistant infection begin, and it happens in almost every household where nobody is counting. Plenty of our malaria bookings are for nothing more glamorous than making sure the tablets are actually taken, on time, to the end.

We will tell you to go to hospital

Confusion, drowsiness, a seizure, breathlessness, dark or reduced urine, yellow eyes, or vomiting that keeps nothing down — our nurse tells you to go in, that day, rather than book the next visit. Severe malaria moves fast, and home care is honest only if someone says when it has stopped being enough.

Questions, answered

Can malaria be treated at home?
Uncomplicated malaria usually is, on the tablets your doctor prescribes, with someone making sure the course is actually finished. Falciparum malaria and any case with complications belong in a hospital. The blood test tells the doctor which species you have, and that answer changes everything about what happens next — so the test comes first.
When does someone need a hospital instead?
Confusion, drowsiness or a seizure, breathlessness, very dark or reduced urine, yellowing of the eyes, bleeding, repeated vomiting that keeps tablets down for nothing, or a fever in a patient who is pregnant, very young or very frail — any of these means an emergency room now. Severe malaria moves quickly and is a medical emergency. Call 108 or go to the nearest hospital.
Why does finishing the course matter so much?
Because feeling better is not the same as being clear, and stopping early is how relapses and resistant infection start. Vivax malaria in particular needs a further course to clear the parasite from the liver, and that is the one people abandon once the fever has gone. A nurse visit is often booked for nothing more than making sure the tablets are taken on schedule — an unglamorous thing that changes the outcome.
Can you do the blood test at home?
Yes. A phlebotomist collects at home for the rapid antigen test and the smear, and the report reaches your phone. A feverish patient with rigors should not be sitting in a lab queue, and the shivering attack itself makes the trip miserable.
What does a nurse actually do on the visit?
Temperature, pulse and blood pressure recorded rather than guessed at; the prescribed antimalarials given on time and the course tracked; tepid sponging and fluids during the fever spikes; and prescribed injectables or IV fluids where the doctor has ordered them. Rigors are frightening to watch and it helps to have someone in the room who is not frightened by them.
We just got back from a trip — could it be malaria?
It could, and it is worth saying to the doctor unprompted. Fever after travel to a malaria area is treated seriously even weeks later, because some species surface long after the trip. Tell the Care Team on the call and mention it to the doctor; it changes which tests get ordered.
Can you look after an elderly parent or a child?
Yes, with a caveat worth saying out loud: young children, pregnant women and frail elderly patients are the groups in whom malaria turns severe fastest. We take these bookings and we watch them harder, and we are quicker to tell you to go to a hospital. Put your own number on the form and share the patient's details on the call.
Is the price on this page the final price?
Nursing visits start at ₹448+. Home blood collection, a doctor's visit and IV fluids are quoted separately, because what you need depends on the species and how the patient is doing. The Care Team confirms the total on the call, before anything is scheduled.
