Navigating legal challenges in healthcare partnerships
Public-private partnership (PPP) is a mechanism and common practice to mobilise and encourage investment in areas promoted by governments.

The risks of these projects typically involve the phases of selection, approval, design, construction, financing, operation, and management phases.
