GOVERNMENT OF LESOTHO ENTERS INTO A MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WITH LENMED HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR OPERATING MASERU PRIVATE HOSPITAL


1. The Government of Lesotho has entered into a Management Contract with Lenmed Hospital Management Services of South Africa to operate Maseru Private Hospital for a period of two years. The Management Contract will commence at the middle of October, 2001.

2. The Government of Lesotho acquired the building and other assets of Maseru Private Hospital when the private hospital was placed under liquidation. The Maseru Private Hospital was heavily indebted to the former Lesotho Bank.

3. Lenmed Hospital Management Services was recommended for consideration by the liquidator of the Maseru Private Hospital, after approaches had been made to several hospital management companies many of whom expressed very limited interest in the hospital. Prior to negotiations, a representative delegation travelled to Ladysmith to see La Verna Hospital, a facility run and managed by Lenmed Hospital Management Services. The delegation was favourably impressed by the demonstrated capacity and high standards maintained by Lenmed Hospital Management Services in its operations of the Hospital.

4. It is expected that the Contractor will upgrade the quality of services offered at Maseru Private Hospital while at the same time using to the maximum extent, locally available professional health delivery expertise from doctors, nurses, and other health professionals.

5. It is the Government’s intention that Maseru Private Hospital should be returned fully to the Private Sector at the conclusion of the Management Contract.
