That’s right your humble abode can become a mini hospital thanks to Health Call a clinic based in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers that also offers medical check-ups, vaccinations and psychological treatment. However, recently they have branched into IV therapy.

Apparently the clinic started the service following a grow in demand last month.

Ousama Alnazzal, spokesman for the facility told 7days: “The IV therapy we offer has vitamin C and B, as well as oxygen – it can cure hangovers within 45 minutes. It can cure nausea, headaches, fatigue or colds. We can send a nurse to your home or work and they can give you the therapy in the comfort of your home, or you can come to the clinic.”
Prices range from Dhs400 for one session, which can energise you for up to six hours. More expensive drips can help against nausea (Dhs790) or nausea and headaches (Dhs990). However, prices are cheaper if you go into the clinic.
