  KPMG UK's Infrastructure Government and Healthcare (IGH) business is widely recognised as a leading financial and commercial adviser across the public sector and on projects of national importance. This advice, amongst other things, ranges from major system design, economic case making, transaction support, design of efficient operational process and technology enablement.
Our purpose is to support the projects that improve the fabric of our nation, and other nations around the world trying to improve the economic functioning and social wellbeing of their society. Our healthcare advisory business is a critical plank in that. Healthcare is undergoing rapid change. The needs of an ageing population are becoming more complex, treatments more administratively complex, and technology adoption critical to its effective implementation. Our team advises across that - we are amongst the market leaders in service transformation, capital project delivery and technology implementation.
