The project is for the construction of a regional hospital gathering all services scattered around the campus of the existing Shtip Clinical Hospital, and increasing its capacity and list of specialities. The new regional hospital will have a capacity of 245 beds, a total surface of almost 34 000 m², and will offer medical services to over 200,000 potential patients.

This project involved a situation analysis of 608 health facilities of 25 health districts of Côte d’Ivoire: regional hospitals, general hospitals and urban and rural first-contact health facilities.
The study included 4 phases:
- Launch of the project;

- Architectural and technical studies (preliminary design/detailed design);
- Tender documents (provisional and final).
This study falls within the framework of achieving the objectives of the National Health Development Plan, and is one of the preconditions for the implementation of the performance-based financing strategy.

The Ministry of Health and the Environment of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) is conducting a review of its health care facilities and of their location, and of health service needs throughout the islands, in order to determine the site and characteristics of a new hospital to be built in replacement of the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital. The overall objective of the project is to ensure a service coverage adapted to the needs identified. This study will support the development of specific functional criteria for the new hospital, particularly with respect to improvements to the national emergency medical services (EMS) system.
