Is home nursing care available at night?

Quick answer
Yes. In Rabat, SAMU Rabat provides home nursing care 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays. Injections, dressings, monitoring, overnight patient-sitting: a state-certified nurse travels at any hour on a single call.
Genuinely 24/7 availability
Night does not suspend the need for care. SAMU Rabat keeps an on-call team reachable 24/7 across Rabat, Salé and Témara. One call is enough: our coordination assesses the need and dispatches a state-certified nurse. Night availability is essential for treatments that cannot wait — a fixed-time injection, a bleeding dressing, a catheter to monitor — and to reassure families who don’t want to leave a relative without care until morning.
Care frequently delivered at night
Many acts are performed at home at night: injections and medication at precise times, urgent dressings and re-dressing, monitoring an IV drip or a catheter, checking vital signs, pain management by prescription, and overnight patient-sitting for an elderly, end-of-life or post-operative person. Having a caregiver at night provides both the technical act and the peace of mind the family needs to rest.
How to call and what to prepare
The steps are the same as during the day: call SAMU Rabat, describe the care and the person’s condition, give the exact address with a landmark and the floor. Prepare the prescription if the care requires one, along with the medication and equipment already supplied. Flag any allergies and the referring doctor. At night, specify the building access code and a reachable callback number: this avoids any delay when the nurse arrives.
