## Content

## In Short
Quro Medical is doubling down on hospital-at-home care in South Africa. A partnership with Netcare is meant to make the model a standard part of care, not a niche option.

## What Happened
In a new interview, Quro Medical shared more detail on why it was founded in 2018. The company says unequal access to healthcare and rising costs are closely tied to avoidable hospitalisation.

Hospital-at-home is a model where some patients get hospital-level care at home instead of staying in a ward. It usually combines clinician visits with remote monitoring, which is the use of connected devices to track vital signs and symptoms from a distance.

Quro Medical says its strategic partnership with Netcare is accelerating that mission. Netcare is described as South Africa’s only fully digitised hospital group, which matters because digital records and connected systems can make it easier to hand patients over from hospital to home, and back again when needed.

The interview also points to Netcare’s investment in Quro Medical and a goal of a more connected care journey beyond traditional facilities. For Quro Medical, 2026 is the year of “entrenchment,” meaning it wants technology-enabled hospital-at-home to be seen as routine care.

Another focus is continuous, real-time data collection. In simple terms, this means collecting patient readings frequently, not just during a nurse round. Quro Medical says this helps it build an individual baseline for each patient, then tailor care plans instead of relying only on generic protocols.

## Why It Matters
If hospital-at-home grows, it could reduce pressure on beds and shift hospitals toward treating patients who truly need acute in-facility care. That can also affect cost structures for medical schemes, employers, and public funders.

The interview also highlights a common constraint in African health tech, sustainability. Quro Medical’s COO Zikho Pali argues that healthcare products last when they create real demand by solving problems for patients, clinicians, and payers, not just by shipping new features.

For South Africa’s health system, the Netcare relationship is a signal that large provider groups are taking remote monitoring and home-based care more seriously. If integration works, it could make “from hospital to home” a normal care pathway for more conditions.
