Provider infrastructure <strong>and</strong> capital investment<br />

• The Hospital Development Plan called for the complete replacement of<br />

existing hospital infrastructure within a three-year period (2007–2009), by<br />

transferring full ownership rights from the state to the private sector through<br />

a tendering process. However, as a result of war in 2008 <strong>and</strong> the global<br />

financial <strong>crisis</strong>, investors <strong>and</strong>, primarily, developers faced liquidity problems,<br />

negatively impacting their contractual obligations under this programme. As<br />

a result, implementation stalled. The government subsequently resolved this<br />

issue by identifying new investors, resulting in the construction of a large<br />

number of hospitals.<br />
