I also spoke to emirates gas, they were our second option. Most helpful and friendly and reasonlbly priced!
I will see if I can get the hosp details for you, we got it thru a via, via....contact
ahh didn't see your last post, how nice of the govt hospital, wow! Could you give me the number to where you called? Maybe I will see if I can work something out with them too!!
Hi Gilly, I am going through the exact same thing. My dad is coming in April and he requires oxygen 24/7 due to open heart surgery last year. I asked the pharmacy at city hospital the other day who they reccomend and they gave me the number to Emirates Gas 04 266 0775. They said they also deliver which would be a HUGE help! Let me know how it works out for you, as I haven't called them yet. All the best!
Is there maybe such a thing as a hospice here in UAE? I know when my mom was near the end, the hospice in Zim was wonderful, and they loaned us all sorts of things such as wheelchair etc.
Thanks! I just phoned them and they do rent them, however they have none available right now.
We will go there in person and see if we can get more detail as to when one might come available.
Thanks again.
What about the place on Al Wasl road just past Emirates Bank? They have lots of medical equipment. Would it be called Life pharmacy maybe?
Thoughts and prayers to your friend and her father.
I am helping a friend who wishes to bring her dad home from hospital. He is in the final stage of lung cancer and needs oxygen supply.
The hospital has recommended a place where we can buy it but this is costing between 8K and 15K which we can't afford.
Does anyone have any contacts that could possibly help with rental or possible borrowing?
Thanks
