The availability of medical equipment at home comes with many positive aspects. First, it enables the immediate provision of basic care to patients in their familiar environment, ensuring comfort and safety in cases such as disabilities or people with special needs.
Furthermore, the provision of medical equipment can contribute to reducing hospital stays and controlled visits to medical centers. In addition, equipment – such as mattresses, hospital beds and wheelchairs – improves the quality of the patient’s daily life, as mobility and comfort are improved, enhancing autonomy.
Finally, providing equipment at home can contribute to overall promptitude in emergency or pandemic situations, ensuring immediate access to essential medical supplies when needed.
The education of the patient’s environment is of fundamental importance for the patient’s proper care and effective recovery. With the right information and education, the environment can better understand the patient’s condition, perceive their needs and offer essential help and important support during their treatment.
The training may include instructions regarding the disease, medication management, care or medical procedures required. With the participation and active support of his environment, the patient feels supported, his psychological well-being and sense of security are enhanced and it contributes to his faster recovery.
