NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is in line for a £19million boost for primary care as part of a £409m public-private funding package.
First Minister-in-waiting Nicola Sturgeon has promised state-of-the-art hospitals and health centres will emerge from the announcement.
They will be funded through the Scottish Government's non-profit distributing (NPD) model, a form of public-private partnership which caps private sector returns with any surplus directed to the public sector rather than shareholders.
The Royal Edinburgh Hospital campus will be the main beneficiary with £120m to complete its redevelopment.
Other projects include £90m to develop Aberdeen Women's Hospital, £20m for the new Aberdeen Cancer Centre, £65m for East Lothian Community Hospital, £20m for community health projects in Highland including Skye, Lochalsh, south west Ross-shire and in Badenoch and Strathspey, and £19m to primary care projects in Grampian, including Newmachar, Balmedie Blackburn and Elsick.
Millions of pounds will also go to hospitals and health projects across the country.
