The agreement covers the group’s four hospital sites, including a new facility due to open in August 2015, which together serve a patient population of 251,000. The partnership provides the sites with access to the latest health care technologies, maintenance services and innovative planning and consultancy services to enhance patient outcomes and improve operational performance with pre-determined monthly operational costs.
