Over the past decade, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have increasingly found their application in the sector of health infrastructure. The objective of this paper is to determine whether PPPs are a viable option for health infrastructure projects in developing countries. For this purpose, the author discusses and describes PPPs in general and s...

Groundwater is used extensively within rural Lesotho both as a source of domestic water supply and for irrigation. The hydrogeology and groundwater resources of Lesotho were evaluated in detail in 1995 (TAMS,1996a). Since then further development of groundwater resources has been undertaken for rural and urban water supply. Information derived from...

The Los Menucos locality in Patagonia, Argentina, bears a well-known ichnofauna mostly documented by small therapsid footprints. Within this ichnofauna, large pentadactyl footprints are also represented but to date were relatively underinvestigated. These footprints are here analyzed and discussed based on palaeobiological indications (i.e., trackm...

... Contextualising this study at the Queen 'Mamohato Memorial Hospital (QMMH) in the Kingdom of Lesotho was primarily conceived around the unique private-public partnership (PPP) model of the hospital's management and organisation. In line with the view of Lang (2016), this informs the expectation that the hospital's quality management success will spill over positive effects on other healthcare institutions across Lesotho. Furthermore, the hospital's size and its outstanding facilities fit well with the need to generate fairly sufficient data that could address this study's questions. ...
... Furthermore, the hospital's size and its outstanding facilities fit well with the need to generate fairly sufficient data that could address this study's questions. While issues of service delivery across organisations in Lesotho continue to draw scholarly attention, Lang (2016) pointed out the sorry state of service delivery in the QMMH of Lesotho (Dick-Sagoe, Asare-Nuamah & Dick-Sagoe 2021). Moremoholo (2017) revealed that despite the continuous commitment of the management of the QMMH towards demonstrating capabilities that could reflect quality management, there remains a persistent challenge of service delivery in the institution. ...

The TQM concept gets less logical given the increasing challenges in its implementation for service delivery. This research aimed to determine the significance of such challenges. Based on a questionnaire survey of 297 participants, comprising 98 staff and 199 clients, the study obtains survey data from a 5-year result of TQM implementation attempts at Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital (QMMH), Lesotho. This study establishes and classifies the TQM implementation challenges in QMMH, which are mostly organization, management, and client-oriented. It further addresses assumptions relating to their classifications. Overall, the result suggests that the significance of the underlying challenges in service delivery is more management-oriented.
... There has been an increasing interest in implementing PPPs in some SSA countries to improve public health systems (Kula & Fryatt 2014;Loxley 2013;Mabunda, London & Pienaar 2018;Thadani 2014;Walwyn & Nkolele 2018). In Lesotho, for instance, the private sector helped to renovate and redevelop Queen Mamohato Memorial Hospital in Maseru, a public institution (Lang 2016). Moreover, the government collaborated with a local church in Uganda to build Ruharo Mission Hospital (Asasira & Ahimbisibwe 2018). ...

Background: Public-private partnership (PPP) for the delivery of health services is known to improve access to healthcare, yet little is known about its utilisation for rehabilitation services, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Objectives: As a first step to generating evidence to develop a PPP model for physiotherapy service delivery in South Africa, our study mapped and described available research evidence on PPP models for rehabilitation services in the global literature. Method: The Arksey and O’Malley framework guided our scoping review. Published research on rehabilitation and PPP was searched in five databases from 2000 to August 2022 using keywords, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Boolean terms. Two reviewers independently completed the titles, abstracts and full-text screening of the articles and data extraction from the included articles. A narrative synthesis was conducted, and summaries of the findings are reported. Results: Nine articles were included from a total of 137 obtained from the evidence searches. Of these, five were from Australia and the others from Hong Kong, Denmark, Bangladesh and the Netherlands. All the included articles showed evidence of PPP models for physiotherapy service delivery. Conclusion: Our study suggests that PPP models for physiotherapy service delivery exist, particularly in high-income countries (HICs). It also highlights limited research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Clinical implications: There is a need for primary studies to generate further evidence and develop innovative PPP models for rehabilitation services for the populations who need them most as part of efforts towards improving access to healthcare in LMICs.

... There has been an increasing interest to implement PPPs among other Sub-Saharan countries in the effort to improve public health systems [14][15][16][17][18]. In Lesotho, the private sector was involved in the refurbishment and redevelopment of Queen Mamohato Memorial Hospital in Maseru, a public institution [19]. In Uganda, the government partnered with a local church to construct Ruharo Mission Hospital [20]. ...

Introduction Access to medical rehabilitation remains poor in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is partly due to inadequate service delivery emanating from ill-defined public health policies. Developed countries have adopted public-private partnership (PPP) agreements between the government and private sectors, thus presenting superior quality and access to rehabilitation services. To help develop a PPP model for physiotherapy service delivery in South Africa, this scoping review will map research linked to PPP for medical rehabilitation services delivery and outcomes in the global context. Methodology The Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework (identify the research question, identify relevant research, select studies, chart the data, collate, summarize, and report findings) will be used to guide this review. Peer-reviewed literature will be searched in PubMed, EBSCOhost, Cochrane library, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar from 2000-2022 using a combination of keywords, Medical Subject Headings, and Boolean terms. Screening of the articles at all stages will be conducted independently by two reviewers using the eligibility criteria as a guide. The reference lists of retrieved articles will be manually searched for relevant studies. Emerging themes and sub-themes will be collated, summarized, and the results reported in the narrative form. Discussion We anticipate identifying literature gaps for future research to inform policy on PPP for rehabilitation services delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa and actual practice. The results of this review will contribute to building a model that will enable the provision of equitable rehabilitation services at the district health level using PPP.
... The second group of literature represents the major academic foundation of this study, a theoretical basis of PPPs. The PPP framework was discussed by Cuttaree and Mandri-Perrott (2011), Akash Deep, (2019), and Shastry (2014, while a PPP scheme significant for the comparative analysis was based on Lang's (2016) depiction. Furthermore, the term developmental PPPs was introduced in IOB Study (2013) and World Bank's theoretical works (Delmon, 2010;Felsinger, Miranda, Skilling, & Booth, 2008;Leigland, 2018). ...

It is important to note that every PPP project varies significantly and can have a different financial structure, as well as number of participants (Lang, 2016).

Source: Lang, 2016 The PPP project starts after the private company wins the bidding that is held by the public office. After signing an agreement with the government, the private party establishes a "project company" to execute a particular PPP or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), "a legally distinct entity with a limited life created to carry out a narrow pre-defined activity or series of transactions for a "sponsor" company" (Feng,Gramlich,& Gupta,Forthcoming,p. 1). ...

The present thesis addresses the issue of efficiency evaluation of PPPs that receive funding through development aid channels and examines the main challenges and positive outcomes of such arrangements. The study focuses on Kyrgyzstan, where PPP development is still in its early stages. The methodology is based on expert interviews and further qualitative comparative analysis of two PPP projects with different structures through the application of a set of efficiency variables. The main findings suggest that the allocation of aid through cooperation with the private sector positively affects regional economic development. Finally, it offers some policy recommendations to the Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic on how to improve PPP implementation in the country.
