From April 9 this year, all medical services and procedures offered at the Ba Mission Hospital will be provided at the new upgraded Ba Hospital facility, says Attorney General and Economy Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

While delivering the Revised 2021-2022 National Budget in Parliament last night, he said two operating theatres would come online in the coming months, and the hospital would offer 24-hour cardiovascular surgeries, chemotherapy, and other critical services.

“Special thanks to the Australian Infrastructure Investment Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIIFP), which is willing to provide financing for this Public-Private Partnership and is also exploring the possibility of directly financing the Project,” the A-G said.

The Government is allocating $13million to operationalise the PPP arrangement.
