How it works

How nearCare works

A nearCare visit takes about thirty minutes at home. Here is what happens from booking to results.

1
Book
Use the patient app or book on the web. Choose the visit type, the address and a time window. You can book for yourself or for a parent or relative.
2
Pay
Pay by card, bank transfer or USSD. nearCare holds the money and pays the nurse only after the visit is complete.
3
A nurse is assigned
We assign a verified nurse who works in your area. You see their name and photo once they accept, and you can follow them on the way.
4
The home visit
The nurse checks your blood pressure and, when included, your blood sugar, asks about your medicines and how you feel, and records everything.
5
Your results
You see the readings in the app straight away, together with your earlier visits.
6
Follow-up when needed
If a reading is outside the healthy range, nearCare refers you to a partner clinic within 24 hours and tells you where to go.

When a reading is very high

If a reading needs urgent attention, the nurse arranges an emergency referral the same day and nearCare's team is alerted at once.

Add them to your account with their NIN. At the first visit the nurse confirms who they are and asks for their consent.
