Ukraine Presents to Investors One of Its Priority Healthcare PPP Projects: the construction of a new UNBROKEN Surgical Hospital

On 24 June 2026, on the eve of URC 2026, a Bidders’ Conference was held in Gdańsk, Poland, for the PPP project to develop a new surgical hospital within the UNBROKEN ecosystem in Lviv through a public-private partnership. 

The event provided prospective bidders with a comprehensive overview of the project’s technical, legal, and commercial structure, as well as the tender requirements and the indicative timeline.

About 50 participants attended the Bidders’ Conference, including representatives of the private sector and international organizations — in particular, more than 20 construction companies and EPC contractors — who are considering participating in the upcoming tender.

The new 220-bed surgical building is expected to become part of UNBROKEN, Ukraine’s flagship integrated medical ecosystem. The project aims to strengthen Lviv’s healthcare infrastructure, as the city has become one of Ukraine’s major humanitarian and medical hubs since the start of the full-scale war.

The need for the facility is driven by the significant increase in pressure on the healthcare system, including mass displacement, a growing number of patients with wounds and injuries, and high demand for specialized surgical care.

This project  is being prepared with the support of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which acts as a strategic advisor to the Government of Ukraine, and involves the PPP Agency.

To support project preparation, including the development of the Concept Note and Feasibility Study, as well as the process of selecting a private partner, IFC has been engaged as the lead consultant for the Project. The PPP Agency provides comprehensive advisory support to the Project. Specialized consultants, including Deloitte LLC, ABMK Ukraine, Ukraine Healthcare Center (UHC), Shigeru Ban Architects, and others, are also involved.

The project will be implemented on the Availability-based PPP Model without medical services — provides for the involvement of a private partner to finance, revise/revise design documentation developed by the public partner (if necessary), construct a surgery facility with provisions for its equipping, and subsequently maintenance during the term of the PPP agreement.

The source of reimbursement of the private partner’s investment, as well as the source of financing the maintenance costs of the PPP facility, will be availability payments, subject to compliance with defined requirements for quality, performance, and the facility’s technical condition.

At the same time, the provision of medical services is not included in the scope of the PPP project. All basic medical services will continue to be provided by municipal healthcare institutions and their staff.

“The UNBROKEN Surgical Hospital project in Lviv is one of the first examples of how public-private partnerships can be leveraged to deliver socially significant healthcare infrastructure. Its value extends beyond the construction of a new medical facility. It lies in developing a bankable project, structured in line with international standards and PPP best practices. Thorough project preparation, a transparent project structure, balanced risk allocation, and clear rules governing cooperation between the public and private partners are the key prerequisites for mobilising long-term private capital and scaling up similar projects as part of Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction,” said Niko Gachechiladze, Director of the PPP Agency.
