Home Care Unit
Hospital care in your home
The Home Care Unit at Ruber Internacional Hospital, in collaboration with Galeneo Health, brings hospital care to the patient's home with the same standards of safety, quality and clinical excellence that characterise the hospital.
This service is designed so that each patient receives specialised medical, nursing and therapeutic care at home, with direct clinical monitoring by the Ruber Internacional Hospital team and operational support from Galeneo, a leader in home medical care.

All care is planned on an individual basis and under the direct supervision of the medical team at Ruber Internacional Hospital.
