A New Chapter in Patient-Centered Care

In a healthcare landscape that is constantly evolving, one thing remains certain: every patient deserves care that is responsive, intelligent, and human.

At Respocare, we have made it our mission to lead this evolution — by delivering oxygen where it matters most, by supporting healthcare professionals on the front lines, and by using technology not to replace care, but to make it more personal and effective.

From our work with EMS and airport emergency services to the expansion of home oxygen therapy programs across South Africa, we are proud to be more than just an oxygen supplier. We are a healthcare partner that listens, responds, and builds for the future.

Today, we’re excited to share what’s happening across Respocare, and how we are continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in oxygen therapy and beyond.

Emergency Oxygen Cylinder Services – Supporting EMS and OR Tambo International Airport

One of the most critical and time-sensitive applications of medical oxygen is in emergency care. For over a year, Respocare has been a proud partner to OR Tambo International Airport, providing emergency oxygen cylinder support to ensure passenger and staff safety in high-pressure environments.

But our support doesn’t stop at airports.

We supply oxygen cylinders to:

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) teams and ambulance units
Public health clinics and mobile medical units
Occupational health teams in industrial zones
Community-based emergency response teams

With fast logistics, reliable refills, and 24/7 support, Respocare ensures that emergency responders have what they need — when they need it.

When lives depend on oxygen, Respocare delivers without delay.

Our oxygen cylinder service includes:

Pre-filled emergency-ready oxygen cylinders
Efficient swap-out and refill logistics
On-call technical support for urgent needs
Flexible delivery to urban and rural areas

In critical care, reliability is everything — and that's exactly what we provide.

Homecare Oxygen Therapy – Expanding Access, One Region at a Time

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every patient deserves access to oxygen therapy at home — where healing and independence can go hand in hand.

Our Advanced Homecare Oxygen Solution Program is built around this belief, providing patients with a full spectrum of respiratory support, including:

Stationary oxygen concentrators for use at home
Portable oxygen devices for mobility and outdoor use
Backup cylinders to ensure uninterrupted therapy
Patient education, onboarding, and compliance monitoring

We are proud to announce that as of 2025, Respocare is expanding into Cape Town, bringing our trusted homecare services to more patients and families across the Western Cape and beyond.

This expansion includes:

On-the-ground support teams and delivery networks
Regional service hubs for quicker response times
New healthcare training and employment opportunities
Stronger integration with local clinics and hospitals

“Home oxygen therapy remains a cornerstone in managing chronic respiratory conditions, reducing hospital admissions, and improving patient quality of life.”— Global Pulmonary Care Review, 2025

With Respocare, home isn’t just where you recover — it’s where care begins.

Respocare Connect – Building the Future of AI-Powered Clinical Support

We’re not just responding to the future of healthcare — we’re building it.

Introducing Respocare Connect, our new AI-powered platform designed to support clinicians and healthcare facilities in managing oxygen therapy smarter and more efficiently.

Currently in advanced development and early pilot testing, Respocare Connect is built to enhance — not replace — clinical decision-making. With intelligent data systems and predictive modelling, it offers clinicians the tools they need to:

Monitor real-time oxygen therapy usage
Receive alerts for patient non-compliance or desaturation
Automate refill logistics and servicing schedules
View population health dashboards for proactive care

By turning oxygen data into actionable insights, Respocare Connect allows providers to spend less time chasing devices — and more time caring for patients.

Innovation should make care more human, not less. That’s the guiding principle behind everything we’re building.

Respocare Connect will soon be available to hospitals, clinics, and integrated care networks across South Africa. If your team is interested in early access, we invite you to reach out and join the development journey.

We believe that great healthcare begins by asking the right questions — and truly listening to the answers.
