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.
