State Budget 2027: Health public-private partnership costs rise to 254 million euros

The 2027 State Budget proposes 254 million euros for health sector public-private partnerships (PPPs), up 34 million from the 220 million estimated for the previous year. The increase is driven mainly by higher projected clinical service output at the Hospital de Cascais, alongside rescheduled payments for its building expansion and delayed supplementary works for the future Eastern Lisbon Hospital.
