Turkish Healthcare PPP Program
A large majority of health infrastructure in Turkey is old and out of date and is no longer appropriate for meeting the country’s healthcare needs. For example, high energy costs, earthquake risks, and hospital layouts that don’t support modern technologies, are all chronic problems facing Turkey’s health sector. With only 2.6 beds per 1,000 people (2011), compared with an OECD-wide figure of 3.6/1,000, and an expected need for more than 90,000 new hospital beds by 2023, the Government of Turkey launched its Health PPP Program (the Program) in 2010. The aim of the Program is to improve service delivery and outcomes through a realigned public hospital network serving the nearly 90% of the population that is covered to varying degrees by social health insurance.
EXPECTED POST-TENDER RESULTS
- Improved patient access to relevant, high quality, public health services.
- Realignment of hospital bed capacity to match national health needs.
- Helping improve health system process efficiency.
- Improving energy and resource efficiency.
- Long term value through the transfer of risk from the public to private sector.
