RecoMed, Kaelo Health simplify access to virtual healthcare
In a groundbreaking collaboration, one of South Africa’s health tech innovator RecoMed has partnered with Kaelo Health, a low-cost health insurance provider, to revolutionize access to medical care.
Their online platform empowers patients by offering virtual consultations with healthcare practitioners, bridging geographical gaps and enhancing affordability.
Virtual consultation
Kaelo Health policyholders can now easily schedule virtual appointments through the platform. With just a few clicks, patients gain access to healthcare professionals, eliminating the need for physical visits.

Telehealth consultations transcend borders, allowing patients to choose their primary healthcare provider regardless of location.
Whether in rural areas or bustling cities, individuals can book, consult, and seek advice with ease.
Health insurance vs. Medical aid
Health insurance differs from traditional medical aid. It offers specific medical services at a cost-effective point, making private healthcare accessible to a broader segment of South Africans.
Unlike rigid medical aid schemes, health insurance provides flexibility in pricing and coverage.

Dr. Arianna Alletzhauser, Head of Clinical Operations at Kaelo Health, emphasizes their mission: “To provide quality and affordable healthcare that improves the lives of all South Africans.”
By collaborating with RecoMed, Kaelo extends access to primary healthcare services through an innovative online platform.
Empowering patients
Sheraan Amod, CEO at RecoMed, highlights their role in powering Kaelo’s patient platform. By effectively lowering the cost of primary healthcare, RecoMed contributes to a healthier, more connected South Africa.
As usage of the platform grows, Alletzhauser expresses excitement about reaching more people with virtual medical advice and essential healthcare services. Kaelo Health’s vision becomes a reality, one click at a time.
In this era of digital transformation, Kaelo Health and RecoMed exemplify how technology can democratize healthcare, ensuring that quality medical advice is accessible to all.
