Understanding the condition
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease whose incidence is rising in Morocco. In Marrakech, patients with Crohn's face unpredictable flare-ups (abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue) and demanding treatments: biologic therapy by infusion, exclusive enteral nutrition, immunosuppressants. Home nursing care makes it possible to administer biologic infusions (infliximab, vedolizumab), set up and monitor enteral nutrition, carry out follow-up blood tests (CRP, full blood count, iron panel, calprotectin) and detect early signs of complications: fistulas, abscesses, severe malnutrition.

Home nursing services specifically tailored to your medical situation.
Why home care for Crohn's Disease Care
Crohn's flare-ups that are not treated quickly can lead to strictures, fistulas and bowel surgery.
Biologic infusions
Administering infliximab or vedolizumab at home, monitoring vital signs and anaphylactic reactions.
Enteral nutrition
Inserting the nasogastric tube, setting the pump flow rate, monitoring digestive tolerance.
Inflammatory blood tests
Regular samples: CRP, ESR, full blood count, iron, albumin, faecal calprotectin — tracking disease activity.
Monitoring complications
Early detection of perianal fistulas, abscesses, malnutrition and dehydration — with an alert to the gastroenterologist.
