Published home nursing prices in Pakistan
Most providers that publish prices advertise a 12-hour home nurse shift at PKR 2,500 to 3,500. On 18 October 2026 we checked the websites of 15 home-care providers: 7 publish a clear price list, and 5 of those 7 price a 12-hour nurse shift in that range.
These are the providers’ own published amounts, not a national average and not Nurse at Home prices. We describe each provider by its city rather than by name. Providers use different staff categories, shift lengths and terms, and prices can change. Ask the provider to confirm the tasks, address, hours and total before agreeing care.
| Type of care | Published prices | Providers with a price |
|---|---|---|
| 12-hour nurse shift | PKR 2,500–10,000; five of seven providers at PKR 2,500–3,500 | Seven |
| 24-hour nursing | PKR 5,000–12,500 a day | Four |
| 12-hour attendant or caretaker | PKR 2,000–5,000 | Five |
| Injection visit | PKR 500–2,500 | Three |
| Drip (IV) visit | PKR 1,000–3,000 | Three |
| Monthly nursing, 12 hours a day | PKR 90,000–160,000 | Three |
To compare weekly prices with daily ones, we divided them by seven. Where a provider publishes a range, the summary uses its lowest and highest amounts.
| Provider and city | Published prices | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Provider A, Islamabad and Rawalpindi | RN/BSN nurse: PKR 2,500–3,500 for 12 hours, PKR 5,000–6,500 for 24 hours.

| Provider B, Islamabad and Rawalpindi | 12-hour day shift PKR 3,500; 24-hour live-in PKR 5,500; monthly managed care PKR 95,000. | The price cards do not name the staff category or the hours in the monthly plan. |

| Provider F, Lahore | 12 hours a day: Registered Nurse PKR 3,200 a day or PKR 96,000 a month; ICU-trained nurse PKR 3,800 a day; caretaker PKR 2,200 a day. | The page calls its figures estimates and says the actual cost may differ. |

The other eight websites we checked publish no home nursing price list, give only general ranges for the whole country, or show an amount without a clear unit, so they are not in the tables.
Companion and attendant labels do not establish Registered Nurse credentials. Ask who performs each clinical task. Supplies, medicines, travel and cancellation terms are not itemised alongside these examples, so do not assume they are included. A provider’s advertised 24-hour option also does not mean one nurse should work continuously without rest.
For a specific task, compare the planned nursing service scopes before comparing prices. Our city planning guides and launch information explain how to ask about local arrangements; these examples do not establish Nurse at Home coverage in any city.
Describe the visit before asking for a price
“We need someone to care for a patient” leaves a lot unanswered. Explain whether you need a specific nursing task, an assessment or a longer shift. Say how long help is needed and whether the patient has a written care plan or doctor’s order. Keep private health records out of public messaging groups.
A wound dressing visit and a 12-hour nursing shift are different arrangements. A lower total is not a meaningful saving if it covers less time or excludes something the care plan requires. The service catalogue explains what each planned visit includes.
Separate the visit fee from supplies and other costs
Ask for a written breakdown rather than accepting an unexplained total. Some items may already be at home; others may need to be arranged separately. Confirm the list with the nurse before buying anything, especially when a prescription or a particular device is involved.
| Item | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Nursing work | The named service and the tasks included. |
| Time | The expected visit length or exact shift start and finish. |
| Supplies | What you already have, what is missing and who will bring it. |
| Medicines and tests | What your family must arrange separately under the care plan. |
| Travel | Whether reaching your neighbourhood is included in the quoted fee. |
| Changes | What happens if the agreed task, time or appointment changes. |
The NHS’s paid-carer guidance also recommends asking about charges and extras. Those are useful questions; its UK prices, funding arrangements and regulatory rules are not Pakistani price evidence.
Use this short quote request
You can adapt the following questions for a private conversation with a provider:
- What nursing task and visit length does this amount cover?
- Which supplies should we have ready, and which will you bring?
- Are there costs outside the visit fee, and will we approve them first?
- What doctor’s order, care plan or other information do you need?
- What record will you leave, and how will payment be acknowledged?
- What happens if we need to change or cancel the arrangement?
Check the person as well as the amount
A price tells you little about a nurse’s registration or competence for the task. The official PNMC Track Nursing Professionals page currently accepts an NIC or passport number. Our PNMC registration guide explains the check. Arrange it privately; do not post someone’s identity number publicly.
Ask about training for the exact procedure and how it fits the clinician’s plan. A familiar person or a convincing advertisement does not answer those questions. Compare providers against the same requirements before deciding whether their quotes cover the care you need.
How planned Nurse at Home pricing works
In the planned app, Registered Nurses set their own service prices. Families choose a nurse after reviewing the price and agree any additional supplies. Nurse at Home takes no commission on visits and charges families no platform fee. Agree the visit payment method before confirmation and keep evidence of direct payments; use online checkout only if offered for that order. Bookings and pass purchases remain closed. See service and pass pricing, the intended payment process and how the app works for families.
Missing supplies brought by the nurse are added only after the family approves the amount. Items bought at a medical store are charged at the receipt amount. Prescription medicines, laboratory fees and the patient’s own devices are arranged by the family.
The availability passes on the nurses page are a planned cost for nurses to be discoverable in the app. They are not a patient’s visit price, a deposit for care or a published nursing tariff.
Keep the agreement easy to review
Save the agreed task, time, fee and approved extras together. If you compare another quote, use that same list. You will have a clearer conversation than if you ask only who is cheapest. To hear about Nurse at Home’s launch, contact the team; appointments cannot be requested yet.
