Licensed nurse for weekly injection

[Jerome HK]

I need a nurse to perform my weekly medication injection. Simple as that, doesn’t take more than 1min. I could do it myself but I’m scared of needles and would probably hit a nerve (injection site is the butt).
Anyone/any agency you would recommend?
Thank you all.

I just came across this page. HKD 270 per hour visit.

Need this done at home or at a service provider?

Injections are easy to learn. If someone in your household can do it then you have much more flexibility (eg. go on holiday etc).

Doesn’t matter. I have the medicine already as provided by an oversees healthcare provider.

You might be better off asking around for a Filipino helper with medical training. Not sure if locally registered nurses might want to take on the liability of injecting you with some random stuff not prescribed in HK.

Yes - there are many Filipinas who have nursing qualifications but are working as DHs. May well be the way to go. But obviously all the liability would be on you.

Yup and it’s also illegal

Well true, but I'm not sure about the legality of injecting drugs prescribed out side HK on a long term basis, especially if they are not licensed for use in HK.

You can probably inject it yourself into the thigh. It's probably only supposed to be IM. Easy to learn and easy to do yourself. Just breathe and jab it in at a 90 degree angle. I doubt a licensed nurse would be allowed to inject a drug not registered in HK.
