Understanding the condition

Urinary tract infections are common in Marrakech, particularly among women, older people and patients with a urinary catheter. Heat and dehydration increase the risk of infection. Home nursing follow-up includes urinary catheter care (insertion, maintenance, replacement), administering intravenous antibiotics for severe pyelonephritis, and monitoring signs of worsening: fever, lower back pain, confusion in older people. Our nurses also carry out urine samples (urine culture) at home, which are taken to our accredited partner laboratory for analysis and antibiotic-sensitivity testing.

Why home care for Urinary Infection Care

An untreated urinary tract infection can progress to pyelonephritis (a kidney infection) or sepsis, requiring emergency hospitalisation.

Urinary catheter care

Insertion, daily maintenance and replacement of indwelling or intermittent catheters, with strict aseptic technique.

IV antibiotic therapy

Administering intravenous antibiotics at home for severe infections, with monitoring of vital signs.

Urine sampling

Urine culture at home with fast transport to the accredited partner laboratory for culture and antibiotic-sensitivity testing.

Monitoring signs of worsening

Temperature, lower back pain, level of consciousness — with an immediate alert to the doctor if things deteriorate.
