A modular hospital company that designs, builds and equips complete healthcare facilities worldwide. The sponsor of Guyana Healthcare.
WWH and VAMED joined forces. The international project business of VAMED Engineering was acquired by the WWH Group, effective 1 April 2025.
VAMED provides services for hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, the company was founded in 1982, and since 1984 has been active in real estate development, facility and hospital management. To date it has completed around 1,000 projects in more than 96 countries.
With the acquisition of VAMED by the WWH Group, a strategic shift is underway in how hospitals are planned, delivered and operated. Building on VAMED's global engineering heritage, WWH introduces a modular approach that emphasises speed, flexibility and long-term performance, without compromising medical standards.
WWH designs and manufactures fully equipped, high-quality medical modules in its European facilities. Delivered as ready-to-install building blocks, they combine into healthcare facilities of any scale, from general hospitals to highly specialised centres. This shortens delivery timelines while giving greater control over quality, cost and sustainability.
Each module is engineered to meet rigorous medical and regulatory standards, supporting patient safety, operational efficiency and future adaptability. Pre-fabricated in our factories in Europe, they create a modern, spacious and comforting hospital environment, and serve as the foundational units to configure every hospital room.
Beyond construction, VAMED+WWH delivers the operating backbone of a working hospital.
Beyond land-based hospitals, WWH builds a floating modular hospital, a full hospital ship that can bring world-class care to a harbour city and bridge the wait while a permanent hospital is built.
A complete hospital at sea: seven floors of medical space, able to operate autonomously for more than 60 days.
VAMED+WWH is contracted to build and complete public hospitals in Guyana: a paediatric and maternity hospital in Georgetown and a hospital in New Amsterdam, as part of Guyana's effort to expand access to modern healthcare. We are committed to completing these facilities and delivering world-class care to Guyanese families.
This site, Guyana Healthcare, is our way of documenting the state of healthcare in Guyana openly and honestly, the numbers, the facilities, the workforce and the progress, for journalists, medical professionals and the Guyanese diaspora.
