A public-private partnership (PPP) in healthcare involves collaboration between public sector agencies and private sector entities to achieve a commonly shared health goal. PPPs can take various forms, such as contracting private providers to manage clinical or non-clinical services, or establishing joint ventures between public and private partners to set up hospitals. PPPs aim to enhance capacity and efficiency in the healthcare system by leveraging private sector resources while continuing to ensure public health needs are met. However, PPPs in healthcare are still in early stages in many countries and require further development of oversight and regulatory frameworks.

8.  It has a desired health outcome.
 It means to achieve better community health

9.  Contracting out to manage clinical and non-clinical
services; health projects
 Joint ventures; private capital to set up hospitals
 Incentives system to influence desired geographic
distribution of health facilities – qualified providers
through contract mechanisms in rural areas

10.  Develop strategies to utilise untapped resources and strengths
of the private sector
 Enhance the capacity to meet growing health needs
 Reducing financial burden of government expenditure on
tertiary care
 Reducing geographical disparity in provision of services and
its access
 Reaching remote areas; target specific group of populations
 Improving efficiency through evolving new management
structures

11.  Cost containment
 Effective use of private resources
 Logical diversion of public resources

however no concrete steps have been taken to initiate
this
 Clarity in policies to effect the partnerships is still
evolving
 Lack of appropriate regulatory and monitoring
mechanisms have raised doubts about PPP in health –
still poor are not taken care of…

17.  Public-Private partnerships in health are at very early
stages
 Will need significant institutional development work in
terms of financial analysis capabilities, monitoring and
evaluations systems
 Appropriate regulations to check the unintended
outcomes of private sector growth in health
