Healthcare Advisory Services

As a trusted partner to health care provider organisations around the world, we deliver a comprehensive range of advisory services to support our clients in all aspects of the funding, delivery and operation of healthcare estates.

From our long experience as advisors to the healthcare sector, we fully understand the unprecedented challenges our clients are facing in terms of funding restraints, increasing demand, rising costs of drugs and treatments and high consumer expectations in terms of their quality of care and the environments in which they are treated. Working in close collaboration with client teams, clinicians, designers and contractors, our aim is to ensure our clients’ facilities are efficient, safe, fit for purpose and financially sustainable.

We base our thinking on both current and future needs to ensure the solutions we deploy will be relevant in years to come. This ‘Future Ready’ approach ensures that large capital programmes have genuine longevity, with flexibility designed-in, in readiness for tomorrow’s challenges in terms of health trends, changing demographics, technological advances and climate change.

Our team of experts recognises the significant challenges our healthcare clients face. Rapid developments in Science & Technology, as well as organisational changes, create an environment that is complex and uncertain. Pricing constraints due to government policies and increasing competition, as well as the rising costs of Research & Development and increasing legislative pressures add to the complexity in an African context.

We work closely with clients, not only in the healthcare industry, but also the pharmaceutical and biotechnology   environments, understanding the business challenges and bringing solutions, and international best practice. 

WSP has a strong Global track record in the healthcare industry, bringing specialist know-how in process intensification, process modelling and flexible facilities to the table. 

We bring together our 48,000 staff, based in more than 550 offices, across 40 countries to provide engineering and multidisciplinary services in a vast array of industry sectors, with a focus on technical excellence and client service.  

In Africa, our 650 strong team of engineers, technicians, scientists, architects, as well as environmental experts, provide services to transform the built environment and restore the natural environment.  

Operating from South Africa, our unique combination of specialist skills, backed by global reach, enables us to offer a combination of the latest thinking and best client service – whatever and wherever the challenge. 

At all stages of the product lifecycle from research to full scale manufacture and packaging operations, including hospital projects, we add value to our clients’ projects, delivering services including consultancy, design, engineering, project management, construction management and validation capability. 

We are able to add value at all stages of a project from site master planning, concept and feasibility studies, through all stages of project engineering and delivery to handover of a commissioned process and facility. 

Our specialist Consultants, Designers, Engineers and Project Managers are able to provide support with any type of facility, from laboratories, high containment, production plants, warehousing and logistics to infrastructure, hospital facilities, and support facilities.
