Nursing services: essential support for mothers and babies

Minor urgent care for children & adults
For minor health issues that do not require hospital emergency care, our clinical nurses provide prompt, thorough, and attentive assessments for both children and adults.
They work closely with the Savana Santé Nurse Practitioner Clinic, allowing for comprehensive and coordinated care for each patient. Depending on the situation, this may include a clinical evaluation, prescribing appropriate treatment, and providing individualized follow-up.
If a more in-depth medical evaluation is required and you do not have a family doctor, we can also quickly refer you to our partner nurse practitioners, with no additional fee for this referral.
When needed, we can also direct patients to other healthcare professionals or specialized resources to ensure continuity of care tailored to each situation.
