General Information

M Health International Limited (MHIL) are managers of healthcare projects with experience across many countries. The value of such experience is the ability to understand how the dynamics of healthcare can work in different markets.

We believe that the greatest value in benefiting from our expertise is to secure an early appointment to enable us to contribute to the early stages of defining the strategy, the content and operational policy of a new healthcare facility.

Any medical facility relies on a target or "catchment" population, which is the element of the total population that can afford, or will, out of preference, afford to use the facilities within location selected for the new hospital or healthcare facility. This is both a market analysis and a mathematical calculation, based on anticipated assumptions.

MHIL adopt a structured approach to the development of new healthcare projects. The same approach is adopted irrespective of whether the project involves a healthcare system for a geographical area or an individual hospital or other healthcare facilities. The detail is tailored to meet the specific needs of each project.

MHIL, via our sister company, M Health Limited, provide full design and build turnkey services. We contract with many leading healthcare architects, other consultants and with general building contractors to provide a full client service - the extent and detail of the relationship being subject to negotiation with the Client.
