For society’s health
The commitment to life is present in all actions at Kora Saúde, always with humanized treatment, respecting and valuing people. To demonstrate our commitment, Kora has already published its first sustainability report, integrating financial information with environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects.

Environmental
Through residual, energy and water management, Kora ensures good management of the use of these resources, in order to use them rationally, aiming at sustainability.
A example of this management is the Hospital Anchieta. This unit is the first in Kora’s network that is entirely powered by solar energy.
Social
We are committed to life in all our relationship spheres, acting through humanized treatment and respecting the diversity of people. We carry out our own social projects that benefit the communities where we are located and we support other social actions outside our sphere of activity.
Some of the projects that we support are available in the next section.
Governance
We adopt ethics and integrity as fundamentals in all our relationships, complying with moral standards, respecting human rights and diversity. Kora Saúde’s governance structure is guided by ethics and the fight against corruption, helping to mitigate risks and ensuring a responsible and fair operation.
Mouth Cancer
CAMPINAS, SÃO PAULO
By mass spectrometry, potential oral cancer biomarkers are validated from proteins collected from liquid biopsies (spittle). As a result, an innovative methodology was born, capable of accurately classifying patients with and without cervical metastasis. This means that it is possible to predict a prognostic profile, which can be used to indicate a more customized and effective treatment for each patient.
RESULTS
- Development of a molecular signature biosensor in spittle to define the prognosis of the disease;
- Treatment anticipation;
- Customized definition of therapies.
Rowing for inclusion
