Doctors on house calls

Dear Mr. Tan
My mother had a fall and could not move. We needed a doctor to see her at our home. As we were not able to find a doctor, we had to send her to hospital. It was quite troublesome to move her to the hospital. Do you know of any contacts?

I search the internet and found the following:

House Call GP

1) The HouseCall GP – 6247 9247 $160 onwards
2) Trinity Housecall – 8223 4999 – $250-400 per visit
3) Raffles Medical – 6311 1555
It is better for you to keep the information in your mobile phone, so that you can contact them when needed. You should also try them now and find out what their charges are, so that you can use them in an emergency.
I called HouseCall GP and Raffles Medical. Both quoted $250 for a visit, excluding medicine and treatment. HouseCall was answered by the doctor himself.
