Zywiec Poviat hospital PPP

Overview:

• InterHealth Canada is building the Zywiec Poviat hospital in Zywiec, Poland through a public-private partnership (PPP).
• InterHealth Canada formed SPV InterHealth Canada Zywiec (ICZ) to build the hospital. ICZ has a 30-year concession (since 2014) to construct and operate the hospital. 
• According to InterHealth Canada, this is in part an attempt to address the fact that 600 hospitals do not meet European Union regulations and to bring them up to standard. 
• The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), FM Bank PBP, and Alior Bank granted financing for the project.
