Is home nursing care available at night?

Quick answer
Yes. In Marrakech, SAMU Marrakech 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, in Gueliz, Hivernage, the Palmeraie or a riad.
Genuinely 24/7 availability
Night does not suspend the need for care. SAMU Marrakech keeps an on-call team reachable 24/7 across the whole city — Gueliz, Hivernage, the Palmeraie and the Medina. One call is enough: our coordination assesses the need and dispatches a state-certified nurse. Night availability is essential for treatments that cannot wait and to reassure families, notably tourists staying in a riad with a fragile relative who don’t want to be left 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 Marrakech, describe the care and the person’s condition, give the exact address. In the Medina, specify the derb, the riad name and the nearest landmark; in Gueliz or Hivernage, the avenue, building and floor. Prepare the prescription if the care requires one, along with the medication already supplied. At night, give a reachable callback number and, if possible, send someone to guide the nurse from the entrance of the derb.
