b) Provision of medical equipment on rental / sale;
c) Collection of lab samples and delivery of medical reports;
d) Point-of- care medical devices for continuous monitoring; and
e) Ongoing patient support via phone / chat provided by Portea’s clinicians
Speaking about the partnership, vice president, strategy of KIMS hospitals Dr B Abhinay said, “At KIMS, we are focused on the well-being of our patients even after they are discharged and we would like to ensure all their medical needs are met on a continual basis.
Our partnership with Portea is aimed to ensure this, with high quality medical care and support being made available to patients within the comfort of their own homes.”
MD and CEO of Portea medical Meena Ganesh said, “KIMS has established a legacy of patient-centric care and Portea is delighted to have the opportunity to serve their patients.
We believe our hospital-like care at home will encourage faster recovery for patients and enable specialists at KIMS to focus their efforts at the hospital to the treatment of patients requiring critical care.
Depending on the patient’s condition, ongoing care at home may be required for a few days, weeks, months or even decades,” she said.
