PPP transaction for medical imaging facilities
The Government of Uzbekistan (GoU) has decided to engage the private sector to improve the quality and affordability of imaging diagnostic services in three regions of the country. By leveraging private sector expertise and operational efficiencies, the GoU aims to enhance service delivery.
To support this initiative, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health appointed IFC’s PPP Transaction Advisory as the lead transaction advisor for preparing the PPP project.
The challenge
We needed to develop a comprehensive and bankable Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model for the design, installation, and long-term maintenance of multiple medical imaging facilities across different regions. These facilities require highly specialized and technologically advanced equipment, making it essential to ensure that the PPP structure is attractive to investors, financially sustainable, and capable of delivering high-quality diagnostic services.
The approach
Rebel assembled an integrated team of experts in public-private partnerships (PPP), finance, contracting, and healthcare to support the IFC team leading the procurement process. Our multidisciplinary approach ensured that all key aspects of the project were covered, from technical design and service delivery requirements to commercial structuring and risk allocation.
As part of our support, we developed a purpose-built financial model tailored specifically to the needs of the project.
This model was used to simulate various bidding scenarios, assess financial viability, and inform key decisions throughout the procurement process. Our goal was to help ensure a transparent, competitive, and bankable transaction that meets both government and investor expectations.
Impact
The project aims to upgrade medical diagnostic services in multiple regions, increasing consistency.
