Mobile Inpatient Care@Home (KKH@Home)

What is KKH@Home

KKH@Home is an alternative inpatient care delivery model that offers clinically-suitable patients the option of being hospitalised in their own homes, instead of a hospital ward.

Patients will be provided with clinical care and home treatment by the care team which comprises of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals.

From 1 April 2024, KKH@Home is recognised and accepted model of care in Public Healthcare Institutions.
