IHHN & Government of Sindh Public-Private Partnership
Achievements & Collaborations
Since the Indus Hospital & Health Network came into existence on the soil of Sindh, it has had a natural connection with the people of the province. The hospital started working through the support of common people and donation, however, soon it started collaborating with the provincial government through public-private partnerships.
The Government of Sindh (GoS) has a special focus on the betterment of citizens’ lives, especially on their healthcare. To materialize its vision of health for all, the Government has started supporting Indus by donating a generous amount of PKR 2 billion per annum. The donation was amplified by a grant for the grey structure of the new Indus Hospital. Appreciatively, the grant has helped Indus in completing the building much before its estimated time and the management of IHHN is grateful to the Honorable Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, Minister for Health, Sindh, Azra Fazal Pechuho, and Secretary Health, Syed Kazim Hussain Jatoi for their support.
The Sindh Government’s initiative to contract out government health facilities to private partners is based on the intent for quality and cost-efficient services. They have displayed a high level of commitment to improving the performance of the health sector and the health indicators of the province.
The Finance Department of the Sindh Government has implemented a large-scale PPP initiative with the IHHN. Health PPPs are organized under the oversight and accountability structures of a broader PPP initiative. A high-level PPP Policy Board, headed by the Chief Minister of Sindh, was created to formulate PPP policy in the province.
With the assistance and funding provided through partnering with the Government of Sindh, IHHN has expanded its network throughout the province and has made significant steps toward achieving its goal of providing quality and free healthcare to all.
