Building on our global experience in PPPs for health infrastructure, governments are increasingly looking to PPPs to solve larger Capex challenges in the care delivery and wellness sector.

As PPPs move from replacing crumbling inpatient structures to managing care delivery, the impact on overall costs is far more substantive and unsustainable. The measurements of success of PPPs are moving towards health outcomes and “value added” performance measures as opposed to general VFM.

However today we have a global healthcare market and the private sector has a choice as to where to invest its money to maximise return on investment so it is vital to ensure that the legislative and regulatory environment is competitive to attract Foreign Direct Investment. HSD has program managed and implemented a range of PPP and outsourcing solutions from major infrastructure developments to mobile solutions and from specialist single specialties through to complex commercial contracting solutions involving multi-site operation, Joint Venture Agreements and Equipment funding arrangements.

Our PPP team have gained worldwide respect and recognition for our sector wide expertise and technical competencies in developing local PPP solutions and HSD is called upon to deliver workshops and presentations to many state entities considering PPP as an option HSD resource centre has access to a pool of Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) in developing bespoke PPP models that deliver sustainable and long-term solutions, that increases provider productivity, enhances quality of care and improves efficiency over the whole of the program and contract cycle.

HSD provides end-to-end PPP solutions and have been guiding state entities through the complexities of ensuring an enabling environment, through PPP development and implementation in healthcare since 2005. HSD in-house team including regulatory, commercial and clinical expertise will guide you through the complexities of delivering local PPP solutions.

HSD has been on the full journey as PPP and commercial solutions have evolved and have faced many of the issues and challenges that Governments need to address today:

• In service delivery, PPP arrangements open broader conversations about how to create and maintain locally based sustainable healthcare systems. Governments typically agree to build in profit margins and other incentives to induce private sector involvement. Competition and later reductions in payments are then used to generate long-term savings and improve quality.

• Technology was often left out of PPP infrastructure deals but is central to the new generation of PPPs where manufacturers are risk partners themselves.

• Local health departments are closer to the health need of the locality and now increasingly develop PPPs. However, national governments are important to setting a policy framework that enables local regulations and procurement
