The riskiest part of most operations is not the hour in theatre — it is the first week at home. In twelve years of nursing, almost every post-operative complication I have seen escalate did so because nobody was watching: a dressing left too long in this humidity, painkillers taken erratically, a patient who stayed in bed for five days straight. Our job is to be the trained eyes at your bedside after discharge from BIMC, Siloam, Kasih Ibu or any hospital on the island — following your surgeon's written plan, not improvising.

What's Included

Wound Monitoring & Dressings

Sterile dressing changes exactly per your surgeon's protocol, with photo documentation so the surgeon can review healing without you travelling to the clinic.

Medication & Pain Support

We organise the discharge medications, keep the schedule on track and administer prescribed injections — so pain control is steady, not chaotic.

Safe Mobility & Recovery

Help getting up, washing and moving safely, plus the early walks and breathing exercises your discharge notes call for — they support circulation and recovery.

Vitals & Red-Flag Watch

Temperature, blood pressure and wound checks at every visit. Anything concerning is reported to your surgeon the same day — early is everything.

Who Books Post-Surgery Care

Three groups, mostly. Medical travellers who came to Bali for orthopaedic, dental or cosmetic procedures and recover in a villa or hotel — we work discreetly and coordinate with the clinic that operated. Residents and expats coming home after surgery here or in Singapore, Bangkok or Australia. And older patients, where surgery recovery and elderly care overlap — for them we often combine recovery visits with ongoing elderly home care.

Most recoveries need daily visits for the first week, then every second day. Where the surgeon prescribes injections or IV medication, the same nurse handles them — see injections & IV at home. Once the wound allows, home physiotherapy rebuilds strength and range of motion. If you want to prepare before discharge, our step-by-step recovery guide covers what to set up at home.

How We Start

  1. Contact us before discharge

    Ideally 1–2 days before you leave hospital. Send your discharge summary or surgeon's instructions on WhatsApp — we plan visits around them.

  2. Assessment on the first visit

    The nurse reviews the wound, medications and your home setup, and confirms the visit schedule with you and, where needed, your surgeon.

  3. Care plan follows the surgeon

    Dressings, medication times, mobilisation targets and red-flag thresholds — everything is written down and follows the surgeon's plan exactly.

  4. Visits taper as you heal

    Daily at first, then less often as the wound closes and you regain independence. You keep the full visit log for your follow-up appointment.

Pricing

A recovery visit of up to two hours is from IDR 350,000; a focused dressing-change visit from IDR 300,000. If you need a nurse present through the day after a bigger operation, 12-hour shifts are from IDR 600,000, and short-term live-in care is available from a one-week trial. Full rates on the pricing page.

Please note: For medical emergencies call 112 or go to the nearest hospital — home nursing is not emergency care. All clinical tasks are carried out according to the instructions of your treating doctor.

Good to Know

When should I book a post-surgery nurse?
Before discharge if possible — it lets us see the surgeon's instructions and start the same day you get home. We can usually begin within 24 hours, sometimes the same day.
Do you coordinate with my surgeon or hospital?
Yes. We work from the written discharge plan, send photo updates of wound healing when the surgeon wants them, and report anything unusual immediately. We never alter the plan ourselves.
Can you support recovery after cosmetic surgery?
Yes — it is one of our most common requests, handled with complete discretion at your villa or hotel. Drain care, compression garments and dressing changes all follow the operating clinic's protocol.
How long will I need nursing visits?
Most clients need 1–3 weeks: daily visits the first week, then tapering. After joint replacements or major abdominal surgery it can be longer — we adjust with your surgeon at each stage.
What happens if something goes wrong between visits?
You get clear written red-flag instructions after the first visit, and you can message your nurse anytime. For anything urgent: for medical emergencies call 112 or go to the nearest hospital — home nursing is not emergency care.

Who Needs Post-Surgery Home Care in Bali?

Not every operation needs a nurse afterwards, but a great many benefit from one. The people we most often support fall into a few clear groups. Medical tourists who came to Bali or nearby Indonesia, Thailand or Singapore for a planned procedure — cosmetic surgery, dental work, orthopaedic operations — and are recovering in a villa without family nearby. Expats and long-stay residents who have had surgery locally and would rather heal at home than extend a hospital stay. Older patients for whom even a routine operation carries a higher risk of falls, confusion or slow healing. And anyone living alone, where there is simply nobody on hand if something goes wrong at three in the morning.

What Our Nurses Do During Recovery Care

Post-surgery home care is methodical, not vague companionship. A typical recovery plan brought to your villa includes:

Medical Tourism in Bali — Recovery After Procedures

Bali and the wider region have become a genuine hub for medical tourism, and recovery is the part most people under-plan. You arrive, the procedure goes well, and then you are discharged to a holiday villa with a tropical climate, no family, and a body that needs careful tending. This is where medical tourist care Bali makes the biggest difference. We regularly support patients recovering from cosmetic and plastic surgery, dental implant work, orthopaedic procedures and minor operations — managing the dressings, medication and monitoring that the brochure rarely mentions.
