Introduction: Public-private partnership (PPP) has been adopted widely in infrastructure construction projects, and its application in medical and health service industry is increasing day by day. However, the performance of a PPP project could be affected by a number of factors and their interactions, due to its complexity in multiple stakeholders and stages. Previous researches on hospital PPP projects mainly focus on the factors which lead to success/failure, or the results of implementing PPP on hospital projects, or risk management, rather than its evaluation mechanism. So, to comprehensively promote and guarantee the effective implementation of the hospital PPP project, a scientif-ic quantitative evaluation method according to certain evaluation procedures and the performance evaluation system for hospital PPP projects are pro-posed from the perspective of the government.
