The private partners who win the bids will design, build, equip, finance, operate, and maintain the laboratory and imaging services. Once completed, the projects will increase access to world-class diagnostic services, supporting the early detection of medical conditions, more effective treatment, and improved patient outcomes, especially for women, children and the poor.
As the first-ever "hybrid PPP" model in healthcare, the project will be funded by both private-sector financing and concessional financing from the World Bank and the Global Financing Facility GFF , a country-led partnership hosted by the World Bank that supports countries to strengthen their health systems, with a focus on women, children, and adolescents.
The project will move us closer to our goal of achieving universal health coverage for our people, especially in maternal and child health. Moreover, it aligns perfectly with the World Bank's commitment to mitigating risks associated with private sector investments in areas that have traditionally lacked private sector interest.
This presents a significant opportunity for the private sector to contribute to strengthening the health system and positively impact the lives of the Ivorian population. Imaging and laboratory services, face a severe shortage in diagnostic and imaging equipment, along with poor equipment maintenance and a lack of trained healthcare workers.
