How managed partnerships with teaching hospitals expand access to complex cardiothoracic services.
Specialist services are expensive to build and difficult to sustain. Partnership models allow public institutions to retain their mission while accessing private operating discipline and investment.
Our work with Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital illustrates the model: a specialist cardiothoracic centre, operated by CIBA, embedded within a public teaching institution.
The measure of success is not the facility itself but the local clinical capacity it leaves behind.
