The Health Facilities and Infrastructure Management (HFIM) sub-programme coordinates and funds health care infrastructure to enable provinces to plan, manage, modernise, rationalise, and transform infrastructure, health technology and hospital management, and improve the quality of care. This sub-programme is responsible for the Direct Health Facility Revitalisation Grant (HFRG) and the Health Facility Revitalisation component of the National Health Insurance indirect grant.

The sub-programme assisted provinces to accelerate revitalisation of Health Facilities and complying with Government Immovable Asset Management Act (GIAMA) by providing infrastructure funding through the HFRG, which is a direct funding implemented by provinces and In-Kind Grant, which is an indirect funding implemented by the NDoH.

The Health Infrastructure unit is responsible for national infrastructure norms and standards for public health facilities, including the Infrastructure Unit Support Systems (IUSS) Health Facility Guides. These guides help provinces at every stage of a facility’s life, from the first planning steps through design, handover and operation, until the facility is eventually closed. The guides are currently being reviewed so that they reflect current legislation, policy and good practice.
