Winning the Titanium Award for Best Innovator in Healthcare at the 25th Annual BHF Conference marks another milestone for Quro Medical as it continues to expand technology-driven healthcare services in South Africa. The award recognises the company’s efforts to improve how patients receive care by extending hospital-level treatment into homes through digital monitoring, clinical support and data-driven healthcare solutions.
The award was accepted by Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr Vuyane Mhlomi on behalf of the company. The recognition reflects the commitment of the entire team working to reshape healthcare delivery beyond the walls of traditional hospitals.
Quro Medical also acknowledged the contribution of its healthcare partners, clinicians and employees whose work has helped expand access to hospital-level care for patients recovering at home. The company said the award reinforces its commitment to providing quality healthcare through innovative approaches while continuing to improve the patient experience.
Building a Connected Healthcare System
Founded in 2018 by Dr Vuyane Mhlomi, Zikho Pali and their team, Quro Medical has developed a digital healthcare platform that enables patients to remain connected to their healthcare teams after leaving hospital. Through continuous monitoring, structured follow-up care and remote clinical support, the platform allows patients to continue their recovery at home while receiving hospital-level care.
The company has partnered with all major medical schemes in South Africa and has achieved a patient Net Promoter Score of 73, demonstrating strong levels of patient satisfaction.
Quro Medical recently strengthened its growth strategy by securing a strategic investment from Netcare Group. The partnership combines Netcare’s hospital infrastructure and clinical expertise with Quro Medical’s technology-driven approach to extended care, creating opportunities to improve continuity of care from hospital admission through recovery at home.
Its proprietary QM Insight platform brings together specialist medical oversight, evidence-based clinical care, wearable patient monitoring, predictive analytics, on-demand in-home healthcare services and rapid emergency response capabilities. The platform supports several care models, including Hospital-at-Home, the Transitional Care Programme and In-Hospital Continuous Monitoring.
Improving Patient Recovery Beyond Hospital Walls
Quro Medical’s services are designed to support patients throughout their recovery journey while helping healthcare providers identify complications earlier and reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions.
Its continuous monitoring service uses wearable devices that transmit patient information to healthcare professionals around the clock, allowing clinical teams to monitor patients without the need for frequent manual vital-sign checks. This approach enables patients to rest more comfortably while ensuring medical teams can respond quickly if their condition changes.
The Transitional Care Programme focuses on the critical 30 days after a patient leaves hospital. Through daily follow-ups, medication management and direct access to medical advice, the programme provides structured support during recovery and has helped reduce hospital readmissions by identifying health concerns before they become more serious.
For suitable patients, Quro Medical also delivers hospital-level treatment in the home through dedicated clinical teams supported by continuous monitoring and specialised medical equipment. Patients requiring services such as intravenous antibiotics, post-surgical care or palliative support can receive high-quality treatment in familiar surroundings without compromising the standard of care.
The company’s home-based healthcare services are currently available in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and surrounding areas, as well as Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein and neighbouring communities.
