Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a hospital bystander?

A bystander stays with a patient in hospital in place of a family member — keeping them company, helping with washroom visits, meals and moving around, calling the nurse when needed and keeping the family updated.

Are bystanders nurses? Do they give treatment?

No. Bystanders help with everyday, non-medical care. All medical treatment is given by the hospital's doctors and nurses.

How do you check bystanders?

Every bystander gives a government ID and a police clearance certificate, two references are called, and they are interviewed in person and trained in hospital conduct and hygiene. Only after all five checks can they see any booking.

How do I know the right person has come?

You see the bystander's photo when you choose them. When they arrive, match their face to the photo, then give them your 4-digit arrival code in person. Never share the code over the phone.

Which hospitals can I book for?

Any hospital in India. Choose your state and district and pick the hospital from the list, or type its name if it isn't listed.

Should I pay a bystander in advance?

No. Never pay anyone who asks for money in advance, and never share cards, OTPs or valuables. If someone asks, please report it to us.

What if something goes wrong?

In an emergency call 112 and alert hospital security. Then use “Report a concern” in your booking. Serious reports pause the bystander immediately while our team investigates.

How do I become a care person?

Choose “Apply as a care person”, create an account, fill in your profile and upload your ID, police certificate and photo. Our team then calls your references and invites you for an interview.

Give your loved one company they can trust
