Nursing care as part of a medical team
Our nurses are part of the structure: they work on the centralized patient file, under medical supervision, with a team doctor available 24 hours a day. In concrete terms: if the wound is not progressing well, or if there is a problem with an infusion, the doctor sees the file, makes a decision, and passes on if necessary - without you having to explain everything again to a new person. This is the difference between coordinated care and a succession of isolated visits.
This integration improves the quality of care: the nurse is familiar with the patient’s medical history, follows a protocol approved by the physician, and immediately alerts staff in the event of an abnormality (such as a wound becoming infected, abnormal vital signs, or intolerance to treatment). For chronic conditions such as diabetes, where, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), education and consistent care determine the prognosis, this continuity makes a real difference.
Having a staff team rather than individual providers also ensures continuity of care: if a nurse is unavailable, a colleague takes over using the same patient records and protocol, without any interruption in care. This reliability is invaluable for treatments that cannot tolerate any delay, such as anticoagulant injections or antibiotic infusions. In addition to nursing care, the home physical therapy speeds up rehabilitation.
Procedures performed at home
Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, infusions, blood sampling with forwarding to the laboratory, simple and complex dressings, bedsore care, removal of sutures and staples, urinary catheterization, suctioning, oxygen therapy, aerosols, monitoring of vitals, patient and caregiver education (diabetes, anticoagulants). Care is integrated into long-term follow-up - see our page home hospitalization for ongoing care. For follow-up care for new mothers, a home-based midwife may also be involved.
Every procedure adheres to strict hygiene and aseptic standards: single-use equipment, disinfection, traceability of supplies, and disposal of medical waste. The nurse verifies the patient’s identity, the prescription, and the dosage before performing any procedure, and records each visit in the medical record—a rigor that is essential for injections, IVs, and anticoagulant management, where errors are not permitted.
The range of procedures includes both one-time procedures (such as an injection, a blood draw, or the removal of stitches after surgery) and care that is provided on a recurring basis over several weeks. This versatility makes it possible to provide, without moving the patient, virtually all nursing care prescribed following a doctor’s visit or hospitalization—from simple dressing changes to enteral nutrition and long-term oxygen therapy.

Nursing rates in Algiers
Injection or sampling : 1,500 to 2,500 DA. Complex dressing or pressure sore care : 3,000 to 5,000 DA. Repeat care: weekly or monthly package with 15 to 25 % reduction on the unit cost. Details in the 2026 price guide and on our rates.
The recurring care package is particularly well-suited for chronic conditions: daily wound dressings, anticoagulant injections, and monitoring of insulin-treated diabetes. It offers a lower per-visit cost and a fixed schedule, which provides peace of mind for the patient and their family. The quote is provided before the first visit, and payment is made in dinars on-site or in foreign currency for families abroad.
Compared to the cost and inconvenience of repeated trips to a doctor’s office or laboratory—especially for a frail patient—home nursing care is often a more comfortable and cost-effective option in the long run, particularly when provided as a flat-rate package.
Chronic Care Nursing: Diabetes, Anticoagulants, Wounds
A large part of the work involves providing ongoing care for chronic conditions. For patients with diabetes, nurses administer insulin injections, monitor blood glucose levels, inspect feet (to prevent ulcers), and educate patients on self-monitoring. For patients on anticoagulants, nurses administer injections and perform necessary checks. The management of chronic wounds—ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, and guided wound healing—requires technical expertise and consistency that only a structured nursing protocol can ensure.
Therapeutic education is an integral part of this care: nurses teach patients and their caregivers to recognize warning signs, use medical equipment, and adhere to treatment regimens. This empowerment, which is recommended in the management of chronic diseases, reduces complications and preventable hospitalizations.
Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers
Pressure ulcers are a risk for any patient who is bedridden or has limited mobility. Prevention involves regular repositioning, the use of a suitable mattress, monitoring the skin, and maintaining proper nutrition and hydration. Once a pressure ulcer has developed, treatment combines cleansing, specialized dressings, and pressure relief. Magh Assistance follows the recommendations of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in adults and the elderly.
Coordination with the doctor and continuity of care
Nurses never act independently: they carry out medical orders, report any changes in a patient’s condition, and work under the supervision of a physician who is available at all times. In the event of complications, the home doctor reassesses the situation, and the’home hospitalization can step in to handle the most demanding cases. This continuum—nurses, doctors, home healthcare, and ambulances—is the key to safe, seamless care.
What happens during a nursing visit?
A typical procedure begins with verifying the prescription and the patient’s identity, followed by preparing the equipment under strict hygienic conditions. The nurse performs the procedure (injection, IV, dressing change, blood draw), monitors the patient’s response and vital signs if necessary, then cleans up and disposes of medical waste. The nurse documents the visit in the medical record and reports any relevant observations to the doctor. The patient and caregiver receive clear instructions on the next steps in care and the signs to watch for between visits.
The duration of a visit varies depending on the procedure, ranging from a few minutes for an injection to half an hour or more for a complex dressing change or an IV. The schedule is arranged in advance to accommodate the patient’s schedule and other medical appointments.
Nursing Care for the Elderly and Those with Disabilities
For older adults, home nursing care helps maintain independence by monitoring medication, preventing pressure ulcers, providing personal hygiene care, monitoring wounds, and detecting complications early. The aging population, a public health issue highlighted by the’World Health Organization (WHO), makes these community-based interventions increasingly necessary. The nurse works in collaboration with the caregiver when a prolonged stay is required.
Healthcare Monitoring for Diaspora Families
For a loved one living abroad, transparency in care is essential. Thanks to the centralized record, every visit is tracked, and a report can be sent to the family. A single point of contact coordinates care, adjusts the schedule, and liaises with the doctor, allowing you to monitor a relative’s progress in Algiers from France, Switzerland, Belgium, or Canada, and to pay in foreign currency with ease.
