Relieving pain where the patient lives
Uncontrolled pain exhausts the patient and family, disrupting sleep, appetite and morale. Treating it at home avoids the need to travel, and allows treatment to be adjusted to the patient's actual rhythm. Pain treatment is more than just a prescription: it requires a precise assessment of the intensity and type of pain, the choice of the right molecule and route of administration, and regular reassessment to adapt doses.
Which pains are concerned
The service covers acute pain (low back pain, colic, inflammatory crises), post-operative pain after returning home, chronic pain (rheumatological, neuropathic) and pain associated with serious illnesses, particularly in oncology. Depending on the level required - simple analgesics, anti-inflammatories, opioids - the doctor defines a protocol, anticipates undesirable effects (constipation, somnolence) and coordinates the relay with the nurses for injections or infusions.
A medical protocol, not just a prescription
Since 2011, from its base in Bab Ezzouar, Magh Assistance has relied on a team of more than 120 doctors trained in Swiss protocols (Swissmedic standards), accustomed to analgesic titration and pain assessment using validated scales. The centralized patient record is crucial here: doses, schedules and efficacy are recorded, enabling treatment to be safely increased or reduced. When pain is part of an intensive treatment program, it naturally becomes part of the patient's overall well-being.’home hospitalization.
A contactable team and continuous monitoring
Pain control requires responsiveness: a dose that's no longer sufficient, an adverse reaction, a nocturnal peak. With an integrated team and doctor can be reached, the adjustment can be made without waiting for a new appointment. The visiting nurse administers the treatment, measures its effect and alerts the doctor if necessary. In the event of complications requiring hospitalization, the company's ambulances provide the transfer.
Rates and organization
The initial start-up consultation begins at 3,500 DA ; Nursing visits (injections, infusions, monitoring) are billed from DA1,500 to DA5,000, with sliding-scale rates for repeated treatments. Night and weekend surcharges apply. The estimate is always announced before the operation; details are on the page rates.
Preserving quality of life during treatment
Well-controlled pain means a patient who sleeps, eats, regains some mobility and morale. Home treatment is aimed precisely at achieving this quality of life, by avoiding the need to travel long distances, adjusting doses to the patient's actual rhythm, and involving the family in monitoring. The aim is not simply to lower a number on a scale, but to make daily life liveable again, which presupposes careful reassessment and the team's readiness to react to every variation.
