Abstract

Background: Advantages and limitations of build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts in various forms of public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements have not been studied. Objectives: This study is the first of its kind to determine the framework, advantages, and limitations of BOT contracts for health care projects in selected countries. Methods: A comparative design was employed to identify factors affecting the development of medical facilities through the adoption of PPPs and the implementation of BOT contracts. England, Spain, Australia, Turkey, and Canada were selected, and data were gathered through well-known databases for the relevant studies. Electronic databases were searched using the keyword terms, “ build-operate-transfer, ” “ Public-Private Partnerships, ” “ health sector/health system, ” “ Health Care Facilities, ” “ Spain, ” “ Canada, ” “ England or United Kingdom, ” “ Turkey, ” and “ Australia. ” Results: The findings revealed that while there was insufficient information transparency for adoption of the BOT contract model in developing medical facilities and building new hospitals, some similarities were observed in its adoption in public fields. Adoption of the BOT contract model has been proven feasible in the selected countries for the health sector, in particular, for the development of new hospitals. These contracts are usually long-term in nature to provide the private sector with the chance to appropriately exploit the field. Different countries utilize this model to meet public regional and long-term health care needs, where the goal is not just a matter of seeking the private sector’ s contribution. Conclusions: This study suggests that more information transparency is required for these types of contracts. Factors such as the term of the contract, the maintenance of the facilities built andtheir post-completion ownership status, facilities and credits offered to the private sector during the construction and operation phases, and the provision of financial and non-financial incentives to the private sector require deeper examination and should also be adjusted to the local contexts of the developing country.
