Summary
Governments across L&MICs are exploring public private partnership (PPP) as a policy option to improve access to health care services for its citizens, in their journey towards UHC. The scope and objectives of PPPs in health care sector are primarily threefold: i) to augment healthcare infrastructure such as hospitals, ii) to improve service delivery effectiveness; and iii) financing or purchasing of services from the private sector to mitigate impoverishment of the vulnerable population. PPPs are complex professional contracts. Political and administrative commitment, stakeholder engagement, and building trust are key foundations to public private partnerships. Policy, legal and institutional framework, regulatory ecosystem, and organizational capacities with fiscal support are key ingredients for effective partnerships.
