πŸ₯ What Are Healthcare Turnkey Projects – Hospital Design & Build?

In Pakistan’s rapidly evolving healthcare sector, turnkey hospital projects have become a necessity rather than a luxury. A turnkey project refers to a complete solution where the contractor (like ACCO) is responsible for everything from design, planning, procurement, construction, interior finishing, medical equipment installation, to commissioning.

In simpler terms, you get the key to a fully functional hospital, ready to operate.

πŸ” Why It Matters in Pakistan

  • Pakistan faces a critical shortage of modern, well-equipped healthcare infrastructure.

  • Post-COVID, there’s an increased demand for ICUs, diagnostic labs, modular wards, isolation rooms, and clean MEP systems.

  • Private investors and government initiatives are pushing for quality-driven, efficient hospital construction models.

Turnkey delivery ensures cost control, timely execution, and one-window operation, solving the typical construction delays and technical miscoordination.
