Challenging legal environment benefits the private sector
- Constant market growth of 3.5% to 4.0% p.a. since 1996
- 2012: introduction of SwissDRG and revised hospital financing legislation KVG
- GSMN aims for healthy competition between the private clinics and the public sector
- Objective: Guarantee quality and decrease costs
- Efficiently managed clinics are expected to benefit from the new industry framework defining a fixed price per medical act
- Approx. 25% of total Swiss hospital revenues are generated in private clinics
- DRG introduction in Germany has generated a market share increase for the private sector from 25 to 75% in 10 years
- Private operators will have opportunities to manage public hospital real estate
- Investments are a part of the fixed financing and can no longer be financed by public funds
- Certain cantons create a competition distortion because of to their biased interpretation of the KVG. They pursue direct and indirect subsidisation of public infrastructures
Strategy – "Buy, Invest, Reap" on a stable ground

The Swiss healthcare-related real estate market
- The new hospital financing law has modified the financing and regulatory environment for hospitals, cantons and health insurance providers
- State-owned public hospitals have to finance their own investments and maintenance works
- Only investments for core medical services can be financed through DRGs
- All other external investments require private funds
- Public hospitals and cantons have to look for new financing solutions and professional real estate management
- Swiss healthcare-related properties are old (70% have been used for at least 30 years)
- substantial need for renewal and renovation.
- Increased opportunities for investors (direct investments or Public Private Partnerships)
- By becoming tenants, public hospitals can focus on their core business.
Strategy to grow the company – outlook
- Investments into the renovation and modernization of the properties in order to further improve the quality of the buildings and the comfort for the patients
- Pro-active measures to reduce operating costs (energy efficiency, global maintenance contracts)
- Investments into new healthcare related real estate acquisition opportunities, with the aim of further diversifying the tenant base
"SHP acts with a long-term perspective with ongoing maintenance and renovation programs for all its properties in order to sustain their value and offer its tenants attractive premises"
