Upgrading hospital through PPPs in Eastern Cape province in South Africa: A case study Iain Menzies The World Bank St. Petersburg- May 23, 2008
Overview • Introduction • An Eastern Cape Health Perspective • 5 Myths / Realities • Health PPP’s in Eastern Cape • Hospital Co-location Projects • Lessons Learned
An Eastern Cape Health Perspective History Three administrations Lack of infrastructural maintenance Provincial inequity Access to health services Inadequate budget
An Eastern Cape Health Perspective (Cont.) • Service Delivery Model • 92 Hospitals • 714 Clinics and Health Centers • 25 Districts • 3 Regions • 7 Programmes • 9 CSC’s
Introduction • Strategic Plan • PPP • Staff recruitment and retention • PGDP • 2010 • Department of Public Works
5 Myths / Realities • PPPs are just another form of privatization • Private Sector is the winner, and the public the loser (services, costs/budget, inequities, institutional capacity, unsolicited bids, etc.) • Employees of the affected institutions will lose their jobs • Users of the services will no longer be able to afford them • No opportunities for local communities to participate in the economic spin-offs
The model : Co-location PPP’s
Structure of Co-location PPP • Private Party upgrades & maintains facility and provides non-core services; • Public sector serves public patients (doctors, nursing & pharmaceuticals) • Private party serves private patients in dedicated wards • Each party has own exclusive use areas (eg. Theatres) • Shared facilities for joint use (eg. Admissions) • Cross servicing for some services at agreed charge per use (eg. Maternity)
What does Department need? • Upgrade existing hospital facilities to modern specifications; • Improved medical equipment; • On-going maintenance to keep to above at high standard; • Provision of certain non-core services; • Transfer of skills • All = IMPROVED HEALTH FACILITIES FOR ALL
Non-core Services Required • Estate maintenance. • Ground and gardens. • Cleaning. • Patient catering. • Security. • Waste control. • Pest control. • Utilities management (rates and services). • Life-cycle asset management.
Human Resource Impact • Only non-clinical posts are to be affected • Department position = no retrenchments • Unions informed and support PPP process • Looking for innovative solutions from partner
What does Department offer? • Right to establish co-located private hospital facilities on premises • Unitary payment: • Fixed component; • Variable component; and • Profit share to Department
Background • Maintenance backlogs – competing needs • Population growth – more beds needed • Private patients traveling to P.E. for services • Tourist destinations of Jeffreys’ Bay – increased seasonal demands • Shortage of Medical professionals
Goals • Improve hospital services for public patients by: • improving the condition and maintenance of buildings, grounds and equipment • improving the supply of water, electricity, gases • improving patient management and/or clinical care • Improving the hospital and info. Management syst’s • Provide private hospital services for private patients who are presently inconvenienced by having to go outside the district for care • Improve PHC services for HIV/AIDS and TB prevention and care..
Goals (Cont.) Assumptions: • No differentiation between public and private patients when it came to clinical care. • No negative impact on public sector labour. • the hospital budget will increase or be maintained at necessary levels • revenue should be taken in kind where possible.
Benefits to Stakeholder • for departments– PPPs must be an accessible, relevant, viable and beneficial service delivery option • for the users of services– PPPs must result in accessible, affordable and safe services that meet acceptable quality standards • for society– PPPs must promote goals such as social equity, economic empowerment, efficient utilisation of scarce resources, and protection of the environment • for private parties– PPPs must be sufficiently rewarding in relation to the investment required and the risks undertaken.
Why PPP? A Public Private Partnership (PPP) was seen as providing the opportunity to revitalise, & upgrade the district hospital, generate revenue from the private sector via shared services and create additional beds within the district.
