The business and long term value of healthcare is something we intrinsically understand. We are a South African based company focused on serving the healthcare sector throughout Africa and the Middle East.

We are committed to high ethical practices to improve the lives of patients and their employees, the environment, and the communities they serve.
Our history
Healthshare was founded in 2004 by Dr Tony De Coito. At the time it was an associated company of the Netcare group, and its first contract was the management of three hospitals owned by the 3rd largest gold mining company in Southern Africa. Over the years, Healthshare expanded across Africa and into the Middle East and continues to strive to improve both private and public healthcare services to the benefit of the African population.

Meeting the demand for private quality healthcare
Demand for healthcare, particularly private health care, is growing rapidly in emerging markets. Rising and ageing populations, the prevalence of chronic disease, and a growing middle class has increased the demand for private quality, accessible, and scalable healthcare. Healthshare works with both private and public health providers to build, grow, manage, and invest in healthcare facilities and services. We help and support our clients in the delivery of healthcare that is not only clinically and technically viable, but also economically justifiable.
The cost/quality equation
Value in healthcare is measured by what it costs to serve patients. But balancing the cost/quality equation of healthcare can be complicated due to the variable nature of treating patients. We help clients identify, manage, and improve clinical and administrative processes in their care delivery value chain that impact both cost and the delivery of quality health care. More expensive care does not mean better care.
Investing in healthcare
The private sector in many countries is becoming patients’ preferred choice because of greater accessibility, a higher perceived quality of services, improved patient care, and the availability of drugs.
Healthshare helps healthcare providers to develop a bankable hospital business case to attract small-scale to large capital investors and banking finance. Healthshare also provides specialist healthcare advisory services to funds and investors looking to invest in healthcare.
