Cytecare Hospitals Collaborates with Portea to Offer Personalized Homecare for Patients

The partnership will help integrate hospital-based treatment with home-based support services, optimize outcomes, and enhance patient experience.

Bengaluru-based Cytecare Hospitals, a multi-specialty provider, has partnered with Portea Medical, an outside-of-hospital healthcare provider, to offer seamless and personalized homecare services for patients. 

The collaboration aims to integrate comprehensive and coordinated care for its patients, providing hospital-based treatment with home-based support services and enhancing patient experience.

Commenting on the partnership, Suresh Ramu, cofounder & CEO, Cytecare Hospitals, said, “As leading healthcare service providers, both our organizations aim to offer high-quality and affordable services for the diverse needs of patients in a holistic manner. This collaboration allows us to leverage each other’s strengths and adopt a comprehensive approach to patient care.”

What does the Partnership offer?

As part of the partnership, patients undergoing treatment at Cytecare Hospital and those in recovery can avail themselves of a wide range of in-home healthcare services through Portea. 

These include nursing care, physiotherapy, rental and on-sale medical equipment, and medication delivery. 

It will also help provide patients with a smooth continuum of care, from initial diagnosis and treatment at Cytecare’s facilities to post-treatment care and support provided by Portea at home.

Vaibhav Tewari, cofounder & CEO, Portea Medical said, “Our experience demonstrates that receiving care at home not only positively impacts the emotional well-being and quality of life of patients but also fosters a profound sense of comfort and security.”  

Additionally, the collaboration facilitates greater patient engagement by providing education, resources, and tools to help patients actively participate in decision-making regarding their treatment and self-care.
