The private company will set up a hospital on this and the government will give it the advantage of a win-win gap funding to make it commercially beneficial. Under this, the agreement will be for 30 years.
The fourth model is ‘collocation model’ under which private parties will be allowed to make a separate facility in the government hospital. This agreement will be for 15 years. The patients who come here from the government hospital will be responsible for the cost of their treatment, while the other patients will be able to recover the money from these hospitals.
