Resumen
Descripción
In recent years, International Finance
Corporation (IFC) has become increasingly active in the
private health sector in developing countries. We are now
the largest multi-lateral investor in the private health
sector, worldwide. Since 2000 the author have provided over
US$1.5 billion of financial support (mainly through debt and
equity financing) to over 80 projects in more than 30
countries. This support has enabled some $4 billion of
investment in the private health sector. Health care
organizations supported by IFC provide employment for around
35,000 people and treat 5.5 million patients annually. About
one third of our clients are based in IDA countries (mainly
poorer developing countries). And about one fifth of our
clients have achieved some form of internationally
recognized accreditation. This guide is intended to assist
IFC staff to undertake an on-site assessment of the quality
of care and safety of the hospital environment. The guide
complements the commercial due diligence (which covers, for
example, business, financial, legal and insurance issues).
Some essential aspects of Facility Safety (e.g. fire
precautions etc.) are covered; however, the guide does not
replace IFC’s separate environmental, life and fire safety assessment.
