Red Kangaroo Health

What Red Kangaroo Health does

Red Kangaroo Health is a Mauritius-based home healthcare service company operating under the MediConnect brand. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Ebene, Cybercity, the company dispatches a small team of Mauritian doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and care providers directly to patient homes across the island. Its service portfolio spans Doctor on Call home visits, Lab At Your Doorstep blood draws, Extended and Advanced Nursing Care, and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Care, with a stated commitment to same-day service and a four-hour scheduling window operating seven days a week including public holidays.

The company generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service per-visit billing, with publicly disclosed prices ranging from MUR 1,000-1,500 per visit. It has begun layering in a subscription-style monthly package (MUR 5,000/month for four nurse and two doctor visits) targeting chronic and co-morbid patients who need recurring care. Customers are predominantly individual households paying out of pocket, with one organizational channel relationship (Alzheimer Association of Mauritius) offering preferential pricing to registered members. There is no proprietary software platform, no digital application, and no AI/ML component to the offering; the model is fundamentally labor-intensive clinical service delivery rather than a technology business.

Leadership comprises three individuals with deep healthcare credentials: a CEO (Dr. Jaikishen) with 30+ years across provider hospitals and health IT at CSC, iSoft, Cognizant, and Xerox; a COO (Tanvir Jaikishen) with healthcare consulting experience; and a Director (Dr. Krishnankutty Sudhir) who is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the American College of Cardiology. The company has no disclosed institutional investors or funding history and remains a privately held, founder-led 7-person operation focused on a single domestic market with a stated aspiration to position Mauritius as a regional healthcare hub.
