ToR: Development of a Business Development Plan for a Tiered Patient Fee System
About this role
The advert seeks an external consultant to develop a comprehensive Business Development Plan for a tiered patient fee system at St. Joseph's Eye Hospital Mgbirichi in Imo. The aim is to create a transparent, cross-subsidised pricing model that improves access for poor and vulnerable patients while ensuring financial sustainability. The consultant will assess the current fee structure, design a differentiated pricing framework and a means-testing system, and produce an implementation and scale-up roadmap. Responsibility for implementing the pricing and means-testing will lie with the hospital and other stakeholders, not the consultant. The project emphasises governance, accountability, and evidence-based planning to support long-term growth and social mission. Objectives include analysing costs, revenues, and payer mix; developing segmentation and pricing; and delivering financial projections over 3 to 5 years.
