For partners

The ask

The specific ask for each partner — accommodation, airline, tourism authority and investors — with the volumes each can expect.

Where things actually stand. This is the intended coalition. Conversations are under way on every side, and the anchor hospital’s capability is confirmed from its own profile — but no commercial terms are signed, and nothing here should be read as an agreement or an endorsement by any named organisation.

The ask, tailored

What we’re asking each partner for

Every ask is specific, and every volume below derives from the same conservative patient ramp.

Accommodation partner

A pipeline of long-stay, premium recovery guests: by year three, around 18,000 room-nights a year, roughly 49 rooms filled nightly, and R54M+ in annual rooms revenue at an assumed R3,000 average daily rate.Source 1: [1] Counter-seasonal, pre-paid and repeat.

The ask

A preferred-accommodation partnership at negotiated long-stay rates, a co-developed “recovery wing” concept, and exploration of an equity investment into Kiros Healthcare.

Airline partner

Anchor demand to help restore London ⇄ Durban direct: around 1,200 premium-leaning return trips a year by year three, counting patient and companion — year-round and counter-seasonal.Source 1: [1]

The ask

A route-feasibility conversation, an anchor-demand or block-fare arrangement, co-marketing into the UK self-pay audience, and a joint approach with the KwaZulu-Natal tourism authority to underwrite early loads.

Tourism authority

A scalable, high-value, long-staying visitor segment that fills shoulder and low seasons. Buy-in confirmed. Both KwaZulu-Natal Tourism and the eThekwini Municipality have agreed to support bringing these patients in, on the basis that a recovery visitor is also a long-staying tourist.Source 2: [2]

The ask

Joint promotion of Umhlanga as a recovery destination, and support for the route’s return.

Investors

A UK-registered, conservatively-planned venture with real partners engaged and clinical governance on both sides of the corridor: illustrative revenue of £4.0M rising to £16.8M over three years, profitable from year 1, creating 32 UK jobs.Source 1: [1]

The ask

Growth capital to scale the corridor, with the full model and assumptions available under NDA.

The model behind the numbers

Deliberately conservative where it matters

Year 1

144 patient journeys

Year 2

300 patient journeys — profitability

Year 3

600 patient journeys

Stay assumption

30 nights average — below the stated 4–8 week recovery stays
